Citrix DaaS

Backup and Restore configuration

This feature allows administrators to take a backup of your cloud configurations. It ensures that there is always a copy of your Citrix configurations available, ready to be used. Backup along with the restore feature facilitates the migration of site information from on-premises to the cloud or from one cloud site to another with ease. If accidental changes arise, choose a backup, and select restore, and with a few clicks, you’re up and running again. You can also choose to backup and restore specific components.

The feature allows you to back up and restore the following:

  • Tags
  • AdminRoles
  • AdminScopes
  • HostConnections

    Note:

    You can now backup Host Connections in DaaS. Secrets must be entered each time. A pre-import check mode is performed to only ask secrets for those Host Connections that are imported or updated.

  • StoreFront
  • Delivery groups
  • ApplicationGroups
  • Applications
  • AppVIsolationGroups
  • AppLibPackageDiscovery
  • GroupPolicies
  • UserZonePreference
  • Manually provisioned or PVS provisioned machine catalogs
  • Admin folders
    • Application folders
    • Delivery group folders
    • Machine catalog folders
  • SiteSettings

Important:

Make sure that you follow the order of the list given above to restore different components. For example, if you want to restore Applications, Delivery groups, and Group policies, you must follow the order:

  • Delivery groups
  • Applications
  • Group policies.

Note:

You cannot back up or restore MCS machine catalogs.
