Configuration Backup

NOTE: Only available for ‘Superusers’

The Backup utility allows for the migration of complex Netwrix Data Classification instance configurations.

This allows a user to safely design and test a Netwrix Data Classification configuration within a development environment and then copy the configuration, or specific parts of the configuration, to a different environment (I.E production).

The tool supports text replacement to allow user defined URL's to be replaced by the equivalent destination URL. The following configuration options are available for import / export:

  • Source Registrations

  • SharePoint Termset Registrations

  • Workflow Configurations

  • Core Configuration Options:

    • Files Excluded
    • Files Included
    • Mapped Metadata Fields
    • Mapped Metadata Values
    • Supported Languages
    • Pages Excluded
    • Pages Included
    • SharePoint Excluded
    • Text Patterns
