Overview
When working in a Bizagi Studio project to automate processes, the database for that project will store all the information relevant to those processes and their implementation (Bizagi being data-driven).
Information not contained in the database will mainly be any documents attached to the processes, which are stored by default in a file server, or at an integrated ECM system.
You may create a database backup of your Bizagi project for any the following purposes:
1. For contingency measures, in order to have a snapshot of your Bizagi project at certain stage.
This is useful and recommended before carrying out a major change such as a version upgrade, in which you may want to have the possibility to restore the project back to a previous state.
2. For Bizagi support service, in order to provide our support team the means to track and diagnose a specific issue.
This is useful to debug and find a solution to issues in your project.
3. To easily move a project from one server to another, or clone it to reuse that implementation as a template (applies while the project is still in automation stages).
Furthermore, moving a project considers the possibility to set up a teamwork collaboration architecture by keeping the progress of a project that has been already worked on.

It is not adequate to use backups for any other purpose than the ones mentioned above.
For instance, to publish your processes into a Production or Test environment, you should never use backups and use instead Bizagi Deployment features. Bizagi offers a Deployment Wizard to easily promote processes and keep track of incremental changes in such processes (for new process versions and continuous improvement). |
To create a backup of your Bizagi project's database, refer to the chapters below.
