Users with appropriate privileges can manually back up all data from tenants. They thus create a restore point. All information about 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.
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 Tenants.
At the end of the row for the tenant you want to back up, click More > Backup. The Back up tenant dialog opens.
Select the content to be included in the backup and enter a description for the backup version. This text makes it easier to select the relevant version when restoring the tenant.
The Now option is enabled by default. It means that the backup is performed once after you have closed the dialog.
Click OK. The tenant is backed up. During backup, the Backup in progress symbol is displayed in the Last backup column.
The selected content of the tenant was saved in the backup list if a check mark and timestamp appear in the Last backup column. The system administrator is informed by e-mail whether the action was completed successfully or whether warnings or errors occurred.
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.
