Users with appropriate privileges can back up all data from tenants using schedules. They thus create restore points. All data from the tenant is saved in a backup list.
If you back up tenants manually or use a scheduled backup, the current state of the following data is saved in backup lists.
Tenant data is fully backed up only if the user executing the commands has sufficient privileges for all components in every tenant and if all components were selected for the backup. Extensions, for example, SSL certificates, SAP® Java Connector, and JDBC drivers, added using the enhance ACC command are not backed up. In ARIS 10 all started runnables are automatically taken into account when executing tenant backup/restore commands.

You require the same function privileges to restore the data.
The user superuser and users to which the required privileges are assigned by the user superuser can manage tenants.
If users with appropriate privileges start Tenant Management, they do this as the user superuser. This is facilitated by the Impersonation function privilege, which is assigned to relevant users on the infrastructure tenant.
Any number of schedules can be created for each tenant. If you create a large number of schedules and backups, make sure the storage medium has sufficient capacity.
Prerequisite
The user name and password have been entered in the backup options.
Warning
To avoid data inconsistencies and possible data loss, you must not perform any of the following activities in parallel, neither manually nor scheduled:
- Deleting any Process Governance process instance, process version, or process
- Archiving Process Governance process instances
- Backup/restore tenant (containing Process Governance or ARIS document storage data)
Procedure
Click Schedules. The schedules for all tenants are displayed.
Click Create schedule. The Create schedule dialog opens.
Enter the description for the backup. This text makes it easier to select the relevant backup when restoring the tenant.
Select the time for the automatic backup. You can set an automatic backup daily or on a particular day of the week. Select a time on the hour as the start time.
Select the maximum number of backups to be saved in the tenant backup list for this schedule. If you select 10, a maximum of the 10 last versions can be restored.
Select the tenant to be backed up.
Click OK.
The schedule is created.
An additional backup is added to the tenant backup list at the specified time. If the selected number of backups already exists, the oldest is removed to free up space for the new backup.
