OptimiDoc's installer does not touch any existing config or database files ( except files that are being updated because of improvement or a bugfix ), therefore no backup is needed but we advise you to do so in case of failure during the installation.


Backup of the local database files:


1. Stop the OptimiDoc WebApp in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

2. Switch to the path <OptimiDoc_install_dir>\WebApp\App_Data

3. Copy/backup files with suffix .mdf and .ldf


Backup of the License file:


1. Switch to the path <OptimiDoc_install_dir>\WebApp\App_Data\License

2. Backup file <licenseNumber>.lic


Backup of config files:


1. Go to the path <OptimiDoc_install_dir>\WebApp\

2. Backup file Web.config

3. Go to the path <OptimiDoc_install_dir>\WebApp\App_Data\

4. Backup file config.json


once the backup is done, continue using one of these steps:

 
Preferred way: install OptimiDoc Server with installer located on partner.optimidoc.com
