Web server maintenance
If your
Backups
Files
You should regularly back up the Files folder located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Prism. This folder contains application data, and any files and attachments that have been submitted through Interact (unless the files and attachments were specified to be in another location in the File Service appsettings.json file).
This is the default install location. If you entered a different location during the initial install, the Files folder will be located there.
If you have Interact 4.4 installed or you are upgrading from Interact 4.4, any new files are located in the database. These will be backed up as part of your database schedule. However, if you have upgraded from an earlier version of Interact, you should still back up the Files folder.
Certificates
Optionally you can back up certificates used by your web server. For a complete list of certificates, see the Hub Installation Guide, as well as the following additional certificates:
- BluePrismCloud_IMS_JWT
- BluePrismCloud_Data_Protection
- BPC_SQL_CERTIFICATE
