Before proceeding with the primary task of backing up your FME Server configuration, we recommend manually backing up the fmeServerConfig.txt file to a location outside of your FME Server installation directory. This file contains configurations for the database used by FME Server, Job Routing, and miscellaneous settings for the Transformation and Repository Manager. These configurations are not included in the primary backup procedure. To restore any changes that were made in this file, you must be able to refer to them when the upgrade is complete, so that you can make the corresponding changes in the replacement file.
fmeServerConfig.txt is located in <FMEServerDir>\Server\.
When finished, proceed to Backing Up an FME Server 2013+ Configuration.
