Backing up and restoring a Qlik Sense site

This section describes how to:

• Backup a Qlik Sense site
• Restore a Qlik Sense site

In a single node site, the single node is referred to as the central node. In a multi-node Qlik Sense site, the central node is the master record that contains all data about the site. All other nodes in the multi-node site contain either a full copy or a limited subset of the data, which is maintained by the synchronization process as described in Synchronization. This means that the central node is the only node that needs to be backed up in order to keep the Qlik Sense data and configuration safe. The rest of the nodes can be restored by simply re-adding them as new nodes, since they will have their data restored by the synchronization process.

Non-central nodes maintain local log files that may be worth backing up in order to identify and investigate issues. It may also be worth backing up any general operating system data that may be required.
