Hello NPrinting group.

Happy new year!

I have some questions about NPrinting backups.

I have read this: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/November2020/Content/NPrinting/DeployingQVNprinting/Backup-restore.htm

but am not sure about these questions:

1) Does the backup include the report templates or does that need to be copied seperately when backing up NPrinting server?

2) What about things like the NewsStand archives, is that included in the backups?

3) We want to restore a backup from a server, to another server with a different hostname. Does the backup process need to be any different for this?

1) Does the backup include the report templates or does that need to be copied seperately when backing up NPrinting server? : It includes the template

2) What about things like the NewsStand archives, is that included in the backups? : Only part you need to create same structure how newsstand folders are created in Environment2 from Environment1
