# BackupServer

The `BackupServer` action creates a backup that you can use to restore the state of the server.

This action returns the file name of a backup file in the `autnresponse/responsedata/filename` tag. You can pass this value to the RestoreServer action to restore the server state from the backup.

You can use this action for the Content, Category, and Community components, but you must send the action to the component ACI port, rather than to the IDOL Proxy port.

Note: This is an administrative action that can be sent only from AdminClients (which are set in the `[Server]` section of the configuration file).

## Example

    http://localhost:9010/action=BackupServer&path=./backups

## Parameters

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
Path | The folder in which to save the backup file. |

This action accepts the following standard ACI action parameters.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
ActionID | A string to use to identify an ACI action.
