Create a backup for Output Generator

The simplest way to back up the Output Generator is to copy and store its entire installation folder.

When you installed the Output Generator, you downloaded and extracted the Output Generator files to a location on the host computer; for example, in C:\Ixiasoft\OutputGenerators\Prod_x.x or /opt/ixiasoft/OutputGenerators/Prod_4x.x. Once Output Generator is running as desired, make a copy the following folders and store them with the Content Store backups:

  • bin
  • conf
  • data
  • libs

The following folders only contain temporary files so they do not need to be backed up:

  • logs
  • temp
  • pid
Important: If you are implementing an incremental backup strategy, it must support file deletions in between backups. If you attempt to restore a deleted file, it may cause the Output Generator to fail to produce the correct output.
