Back up databases and file repositories Back up existing databases. This is especially important if you plan to experiment with different configuration options. Back up these databases: LawsonFS -- This database contains the dashboards. LawsonRS -- This database contains the reporting services. LawsonSN -- This database contains the smart notifications and info sets. Back up the Reporting Services file repository. Note: This directory is usually named LawsonDocuments. This file repository contains the published instances of reports.
