To backup the configuration of your FME Server 2014 and later repositories, notifications, schedules, security and services, use the Backup tool on the Backup & Restore page of the FME Server Web User Interface.
Note: Backing up job history is not supported.
Note: Backup and restore of Resources is supported. By default, the DATA, ENGINE, and DASHBOARD Resources are configured for migration. To determine if your resource folders are migratable, open the FME Server configuration file at <FMEServerDir>Server\fmeServerConfig.txt. Locate your resources under FME SERVER SETTINGS START > Shared Resource Management. Resources with a SHAREDRESOURCE_ISMIGRATABLE_* value of true are migrated.
Note: To backup a configuration of an FME Server 2013, see Backup Configuration from FME Server 2013.
Back Up the Server Configuration Files
Before proceeding with the primary task of backing up your FME Server configuration, we recommend manually backing up the FME Server Configuration Files to a location outside of your FME Server installation directory, in case you need to refer to them later. These files contain configurations for theFME Server Database, Job Routing, and miscellaneous settings for the Transformation and Repository Managers. These configurations are not included in the primary backup procedure. To restore any changes that were made in these files, 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.
WARNING: Configuration files from a backed-up FME Server are for reference only. Do not copy them to the corresponding directory of a restored FME Server.
Backup an FME Server 2014 or Later Configuration
To perform a backup, use the backup tool in the FME Server Web User Interface.
Note: To restore your configuration after you upgrade FME Server, see Restore Configuration from FME Server 2014 and Later.
