IDOL Content Component 12.12

# BackupServer

The `BackupServer` action creates a backup that you can use to restore the state of the server.

This action returns the file name of a backup file in the `autnresponse/responsedata/filename` tag. You can pass this value to the RestoreServer action to restore the server state from the backup.

You can use this action for the Content, Category, and Community components, but you must send the action to the component ACI port, rather than to the IDOL Proxy port.

NOTE: This is an administrative action that can be sent only by users that belong to an authorization role that allows the `Admin` standard role, or which enables the action explicitly. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.

## Example

    http://localhost:9100/action=BackupServer&path=./backups

Parameter | Description
