Backing Up Territories and Gateways

If a Broker Server hosts a Broker that is a member of a territory, it is critical that you back up all of the Broker Servers that participate in the territory after making any of the following types of changes:

Modifying the membership of the territory

Adding, deleting, or modifying document types

Adding, deleting, or modifying client groups

Changing territory ACL assignments

Adding, deleting, or modifying a gateway in the territory

Backing up all of the Broker Servers in the territory ensures that you can restore any one of the Broker Servers and the participating Brokers on that server will be in sync with the rest of the territory.

If you restore a Broker that is not in sync with the other members of the territory, you will have to either:

Resynchronize the Broker by removing it from the territory and adding it to the territory again (which will cause it to lose any gateways that reside on the Broker).

Manually update the client groups and document types on the restored Broker to synchronize them with the rest of the territory.
