Object store backup

An object store backup consists of the object store data and the related storage areas and index areas.

Object store data backup
The object store data includes metadata about content, such as the revision number and the physical location of the content in the file system. (The content can be stored in the object store database or in a file storage area.) The object store data also includes the data for the workflow system that is associated with the object store. The object store database is updated frequently, whenever object metadata is modified.
Storage area backup
Each file storage area or fixed storage area is associated with an object store. The file storage areas change frequently, whenever changes are made to document contents or annotations.
Index area backup
Each index area is associated with an object store. The index areas change frequently, whenever changes are made to the content of search-enabled documents.
