Content Store

[alexanderferreira]

Hi,

Is the content store always installed outside of the database (eg metadata) or can I configure it to be installed inside a database?

Tks!

[sdf]

Content store is a database in a database server.

[alexanderferreira]

Right!

How much do I backup on the portal and export, it generates a zip file. What does it contain in these files, since the content is in the database?

[sdf]

You can backup in two ways.
1. Full content backup via Cognos Administration console (generates zip file in the deployment folder)
2. Content Store Database backup via your Database server.

Both back-up contains all meta for the instance.

For greater security, would it be better to do both?

[sdf]

I would say so. Just make sure to name them clearly as to when the backup was created. So both your db backup and full content backup can easily be traced of version.

OK!

Tks my dear!
