# Back up Other IDOL Components

Most IDOL components do not store additional data, and so do not need to be backed up. For example, the IDOL View component does not store any data except for its cache, which it can build up again from a clean installation.

However, Micro Focus recommends that you back up your component configuration files, to ensure that you can restore a particular custom configuration.

In addition, IDOL Connectors store information about the files they have previously retrieved from a repository. You can back up your connectors by using a `BackupServer` action. For more information, refer to the documentation for the appropriate connector.
