Backup configure & restore
Introduction to Backup
What is the Backup addon?
Soffid allows you to add a backup addon to the console to save a snapshot for each user to keep track of changes as they occur.
On the User backup configure & restore page you could manage the user snapshots and configure the backup.
- To configure the backup you need to configure some parameters
- To restore user data for a specific date, you only need to select the proper record and click the restore button.
The user's snapshot will be available on the User page as well. There you could manage the user backup data.
