The Backup files tab on the Configure Reference System dialog specifies all file system areas or path names to store in special backup archives. As a result, you are able to restore the original reference system as soon as a product has been packaged.
Set the recursive option, if you want to include in the backup all of the subdirectories of the path names you specify.
If you make changes on this tab and then click Apply or OK, the Backup System Files dialog appears. The modifications you specified are automatically entered in the backup archive.
Important! If you do not protect a file or path by specifying it on the Backup files tab, the file or path can be changed or deleted permanently by the reference installation!
You should very precisely define the areas to be backed up, and include only essential areas; otherwise, the size of the archives increases considerably, thereby increasing the time required to perform the backup and restore operations.
Files specified under the ASCII files tab do not need to be entered here. The Packager backs them up and restores them automatically.
The files are backed up only once when using the Packager for the first time, or on demand by selecting File, Backup System Files.
