Infor d/EPM

We recommend that you back up these items:

• Databases:
  • Configuration

    Back up the farm configuration database as it holds the keys for repository encryption. Losing these keys means that you also lose the repository content.

  • Log
  • Repository
• OLAP directories:
  • Central database
  • Central backup
• Configuration files:
  • The Farm.config file in this folder: C:\Program Files\Infor\BI\config

    Back up the farm.config file directly after configuring the Infor d/EPM farm. It holds the master keys. Losing these keys means that you lose access to your databases for Configuration Service and Repository Service. You cannot reset these keys.

  • Optionally, all *.config files from all folders of services except for the *.exe.config files.
• Load Job files
• Farm profile file
• Master keys file

  Back up the master keys file and ensure that you remember the password that is used to protect that file. Losing the master keys means that you lose access to your farm and databases.

You should also pay attention to permissions on folders.
