# Back up Users, Roles, Agents, and Profiles

You can back up users, roles, agents, and profiles, either by submitting an action, or by using the IDOL Admin interface.

The backup includes all the data in the IDOL Community component, including a `UserExport` XML file and the configuration file.

To back up the Community users, roles, agents, and profiles by submitting an action

- Run a `BackupServer` action, with the `Path` parameter set to the path to the directory where you want to store the backup for your categories, taxonomies, and cluster jobs:

      http://CommunityHost:CommunityPort/action=BackupServer&Path=C:\Backups\Category\

  where:

  `CommunityHost` | is the IP address or name of the machine on which Community is installed.
  `CommunityPort` | is the Community ACI port. NOTE: In a unified IDOL Server, you must send the `BackupServer` action directly to Community (not to the default IDOL Proxy port).

NOTE:

While Community is processing a `BackupServer` action, you cannot add, change, or remove community data. You can, however, run actions that do not affect the data that is backed up (such as `UserRead`, `Community`, and `Security`).

To back up Community users, roles, agents, and profiles by using IDOL Admin

1. On the Backup/Restore tab (in Control section), optionally update the backup directory, and then click Backup.

   The `BackupServer` maintenance action backs up the community data to the specified backup directory.
