Make sure to save backup files on external media, such as a NAS or file servers. To check the directory in use, click Administration > Options. If the default backup directory is still in use, change the location for backup files before you backup a tenant.
Warning
If you store backup files on the same machine where ARIS server is installed, the system will slow down because with each backup the free disk space will decrease.
You must not save backup files using ARIS document storage. ARIS document storage is a repository for documents used by end users in ARIS. These files by default are accessible by all ARIS users and can be downloaded. ARIS designers with corresponding write permissions and document administrators have access to the document repository. These users can download, move, or delete files. This may lead to unauthorized access to backup files if stored in ARIS document storage. If you save a backup file, a database or other microservice backup in ARIS document storage, the next tenant backup also contains this content. This increases the amount of data per backup and does not comply with microservice architectural principles.
