Qlik Sense QSR Backup scope ?

[rohitk1609]

Hi Techies, I

have a Qlik site one year old and I have implemented many fixes and config file updates

1. C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Engine\Settings.ini

2. C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\PostgreSQL\9.6\pg_hba.conf many more.

Lets say my system get crashed, so if I restore the QSR backup, do settings will come as it is before crash ?

My Question is QSR backup covers meta data till what level ?

Thanks, Rohit

I haven't heard too much in the way of backing up Qlik at an application configuration level.  I just generally backup the VM and call it a day.  But it would be nice if it had a dump of all the various streams, settings, connections and so forth so you could restore a system.

It does backup meta data of streams, apps, security rules , connections. My question is does it backup settings or solution implemented in service config files or other config files too ?

No, it does not.

Thanks Levi for your response. Lets say, my Qlik site crash unfortunately, and I restore the QSR backup, do I need to implement the config file changes and solutions again in concern config files ? If yes, so what If I backup program files and Programdata folder and after restoring the backup I copy and replace newly restored site folders program files and Programdata folder by backed up Program Files and Program Data folder, Will it work fine ?

Thanks,
Rohit

No idea. That isn't the documented approach nor is it ideal to be in the business of fiddling with the underlying files of a database as a rule.
