SharePoint - Backup site |
<AMSHAREPOINT ACTIVITY="backup_site" SITEURL="text" BACKUPFILE="text" /> |
Description: Performs a site collection backup.
NOTE: This activity is only supported on SharePoint 2013 Server. In addition, the user account that is performing this procedure must have the site collection administrator permission. |
Performing a site collection backup might require resources and may affect farm performance when the backup is running. You can help avoid performance issues by creating a task that automates the backup process and set to run the task during hours when farm use is lowest, such as outside office hours.
