We're updating some of our product names. Nintex Kryon RPA will soon be Nintex RPA. You may see both product names in our help pages while we make this change.

Backup Current Version & Database

Back up current version installation

Copy the current Nintex server install folder to a different location (either locally on a different machine)
- By default, the server files are installed to the folder:
  - Up to v19.1.3: C:\Program Files\Kryon Application Server
  - For 19.3 and above: C:\Kryon
You can save storage space by compressing the backup.
For 19.3 and above, backup KEYTAB file (for Kerberos authentication only) from C:\ProgramData.
For 19.3 and above, backup security certificate files (SSL/TLS) from C:\ProgramData.

Back up Nintex database

From SQL Server Management Studio, connect to the database server.
In the Object Explorer, right-click the Nintex database and select Tasks > Back Up.
Give the Backup set a name and set the Destination to which the backup will be saved.
