Backup Configuration Files and NuGet Packages
Backing up your Orchestrator configuration and NuGet packages requires copying the relevant files and folders to your designated backup location. This page provides the details needed to identify and locate those files and folders you must copy.
The steps needed to backup your Orchestrator configuration vary slightly depending on your deployment model (e.g. On-prem and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), or PaaS (Platform as a Service)).
On-Prem and IaaS Deployments
- Open your Orchestrator installation directory. By default, this is
C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator
. - Copy the
web.config
andUiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
files located there to your designated backup location.
Azure PaaS Deployments
- Select your Orchestrator App Service.
- From the Development Tools menu navigate to Advanced Tools > Go > Debug Console > CMD.
- Open the Site folder and navigate to wwwroot.
- Select
Web.config
and click Download. - Copy the downloaded file to your designated backup location.
- Select
UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
and click Download. - Copy the downloaded file to your designated backup location.
In addition to the
web.config
and UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
files, you must also copy the Application Settings and Connections Strings as follows:
- Select your Orchestrator App Service.
- From the Settings menu, select Configuration.
- From the Application Settings section, select Advanced Edit and copy the displayed value.
- From the Connection strings section, select Advanced Edit and copy the displayed value.
- Save these values to your designated backup location.
Note: When restoring the
web.config
and UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
files, you must do so all on Orchestrator nodes in your deployment.
On-Prem and IaaS Deployments
To restore your previous Orchestrator configuration, whether to a new environment or following a failure:
- Copy the
web.config
andUiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
files from your desired backup. - Open your Orchestrator installation directory. By default, this is
C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator
. - Replace the
web.config
andUiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
files located there with your designated backup.
Azure PaaS Deployments
After you have retrieved your desired
web.config
and UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
backup file:
- Select your Orchestrator App Service.
- From the Development Tools menu navigate to Advanced Tools > Go > Debug Console > CMD.
- Open the Site folder and navigate to wwwroot.
- Replace the
web.config
andUiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
files located there with your designated backup.
In addition to replacing the
web.config
and UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
files, you must also restore the Application Settings and Connections Strings with their previous values, as follows:
- Select your Orchestrator App Service.
- From the Settings menu, select Configuration.
