How to backup and restore SquaredUp DS for Azure
Backing up DS for Azure
You may need to connect to your SquaredUp server (How to connect to your SquaredUp server).
We recommend you stop the SquaredUp DS application pool (How to check and modify the application pool identity) and then backup the entire SquaredUp folder.

Name of the SquaredUp folder
The name of the SquaredUp folder is SquaredUpv
followed by the product version number
.
Location of the SquaredUp folder
The default location for the SquaredUp folder is F:\
.SquaredUpv[Version Number]
For example, for SquaredUp DS for Azure v5 the default location is F:\SquaredUpv5
F:\SquaredUpv4
If you installed SquaredUp DS using the installer:
The default location for the SquaredUp folder is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SquaredUpv[Version Number]
, but a custom location may have been chosen during the installation.
For example, for SquaredUp DS v5 the default folder location is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SquaredUpv5
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SquaredUpv4
If you wish you can just backup the SquaredUpv[Version Number]\User
folder, as this is where your specific dashboards and settings are located. Within the User folder the Packages
folder contains your user-published dashboards and perspectives and Configuration
folder contains your SquaredUp DS configuration settings.
