Backing Up Projects

Before you upgrade to the latest version of DBSync's On-Premise mode, it is a best practice to back up all your integration projects that you created using earlier versions.  Even though the installer does not purge your existing 'db' folder during an upgrade, as a precautionary action, take the following steps to backup your data.

1. Go to My Computer and navigate to the DBSync installed directory. By default the directory is (C:\DBSync_CloudWorkflow ) unless you selected a different directory to install an earlier version of DBSync <<DBSync Install Dir>> \dbsync2\WEB-INF\conf\db 
2. Copy all the files and folders of "db" folder to your designated directory or drive.
3. For example, if DBSync is installed on the default path chosen by DBSync installer - which is "C:\DBSync_CloudWorkflow" - your local database path will be "C:\DBSync_CloudWorkflow\dbsync2\WEB-INF\conf\db".
