Backup and restore

Summary

FactFinder automatically creates a backup of the previous configuration each time you save a transaction. It keeps the last 30 changes per channel.

The Backup feature lets you review these backups and restore them if needed.

Restoring a backup reverts all changes made after that restore point.

Find Backup under System maintenance. In the default menu, go to More settings…

All saved backups are listed in a grid with the following columns:

User — user ID of the person who made and saved the changes. Use individual user IDs for each person in FactFinder NG User Management.

Restore — restores the selected configuration
