Backing Up Advanced Workflows

If you plan to edit the sample Workflows and/or create custom Workflows, you can create an Event Rule to periodically back up (save a copy of) the Workflows with a Timer rule and an Upload action.

To backup the Workflows

  1. Define a Timer Rule. Specify the frequency depending on how often you create new Workflows.

  2. Add the Upload action to the Rule. (Refer to Protocol: Upload Action for details.)

  3. In the Rule Builder, click one of the undefined parameters (for example, '[select]' or '/%SOURCE.FILE_NAME%'). The Upload/File Offload Configuration wizard appears.

  4. In the Source path box, specify the location of the Workflow (.aml) files. For example, to copy all of the Workflows for the Site named "MyGSSite," in the Source path box type
    C:\ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Server\AWE\MyGSSite_?.*.
    If you use *, you will backup everything in that folder.
    (Do NOT select the Delete source file check box!)

  5. In the Destination path box, specify a location on a remote drive (in case the local drive fails).

  6. Click Finish in the wizard.

  7. Click Apply.
