Is it possible to take a backup without generated data?

Hi Dojo,

I would like to archive one of my DMAs. Therefore I want to make a backup containing everything needed to restore it in the future. I think that at least everything related to trending and alarming can be excluded from that backup since it will be regenerated once the backup is restored.

Is it possible to create such a backup?

Jens,

When you select a type of backup ( configuration, full backup ,... ), the 'Details' section will show you all items that will be part of it.

In case what you want ( ie Simulation) is not part of the backup, you still have the option to manually select what you want to include in the backup file.

Hi Emmanuel,
Problem is that the details section is greyed out and I can’t navigate in it. Checking ‘Use custom backup’ ignores the predefined backup selection and has all checkboxes checked.

Jens Vandewalle [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 21st September 2023

I just discovered that I can see the details by
1) select ‘Use custom backup’ and select the item from which I would like to see the details
2) select predefined backup and see what exactly is selected

It will be a bit time consuming, but eventually I’ll have the information that I want. Thank you for the input!
