Backup Current Version & Database

For information relating to this topic, see the topic Data Store and Backup Strategy

Back up current version installation

  1. 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, and including, 21.10: C:\Kryon

      • For 22.3.1 and above: C:\Nintex

    You can save storage space by compressing the backup.

  2. Backup the KEYTAB file (for Kerberos authentication only) from C:\ProgramData.

    If you are having trouble locating the Program Data folder, it is hidden. To show it, select the View tab and select the Hidden items checkbox.

  3. Backup the security certificate files (SSL/TLS) from C:\ProgramData.

Back up Nintex database

  1. From SQL Server Management Studio, connect to the database server.

  2. In the Object Explorer, right-click the Nintex database and select Tasks > Back Up.

  3. Give the Backup set a name and set the Destination to which the backup will be saved.
