MicroStrategy ONE

Automatic Backup During Upgrades

Starting with MicroStrategy 2021 Update 9, a new feature was added to the installer that enables you to automatically backup integral configuration files that previously required manual updates. This feature is the beginning of a series of enhancements. Therefore, users should ensure that any previous backup customizations or changes are merged post-upgrade. If you are using a MicroStrategy version prior to 2021 Update 9 or if you want to manually backup your configuration files, see Manual Backup.

Due to size limitations and possible mounts, no directories (images or plugins and so on) will be backed up

Windows

The backup location for the files in Windows is C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MicroStrategy\Backup.<version>.

Linux

The backup location for the files in Linux is <install_Path>/_uninstall/backup.<version>.

Web, Library, Mobile, Web Services, and Community Connector files are only backed up for IIS and Tomcat if Tomcat is installed using the MicroStrategy Platform installer. This feature will not backup files from application servers that are hosted by customers.
