Hello everyone,
In the upcoming weeks, we are going to move an old system (12 years of service) to a new hardware to be able to use the new database architecture.
To avoid having to recreate all elements, surveyor, templates, and correlations from scratch, we are thinking to take a configuration backup to bring all of those to the new system.
Now, does that configuration backup helps with the user and groups creation as well? I saw an “All user settings”, but it is not clear if it is only for the user preferences or the local users will be created as well.
I checked the Documentation and this page: Backing up a DataMiner Agent | DataMiner Docs points to a Dojo video that explains how to create a backup, but it is not clear on the user part: Backup - Configuring backups - DataMiner Dojo
Any help is appreciated!
Hi Arturo,
If your backup contains the security.xml file and the folder C: --> Skyline DataMiner --> Users, then the user and group configuration should be present when you restore the backup.
Hi! Thanks for the detailed answer. I did a test and yes, indeed the files are copied, and they appear in the new system. However, the local users need to be manually created (or with a PowerShell script).
I took a configuration backup and the above files/folders were present, so you should be good to go. In any case, you can always perform a quick test on your local agent to verify this 🙂
