What is Backup + Restore?

Backup + Restore is a new blade available on the left pane of your Citrix DaaS console. With this new blade, admins can create on-demand backups and schedule them to run at a frequency, day, and time they set. Up to 30 backups can be stored, and admins can pin up to 5 additional backups. Pinned backups are not deleted if the 30-backup limit is reached, while the other older backups are automatically deleted.

Admins can restore site configurations, one component at a time, ensuring no conflicts during the process. The process allows admins to select the components to be restored and use comma-separated filter lists to specify the member names to be restored. A check mode is also available for restoration to pre-evaluate everything needed for the restore without triggering one. For example, if you need to restore specific applications that were deleted, check mode displays the list of applications that will be restored when the process is run.

All of the Backup + Restore actions are also available for review within the history tab, providing admins insight into the actions performed, components and members backup up, and who performed the activity.
