# BackupServer

The `BackupServer` action creates a backup that can be used to restore the server's state.

The backup includes:

- details of actions that have been queued, are running, and have finished.
- a copy of the configuration file.
- information about the files that the connector has retrieved.

Salesforce Connector does not begin creating the backup until running tasks have finished. If a task is running, the action might take a long time to respond. Micro Focus recommends that you run this action at a time when tasks are not running.

Type: Synchronous

Parameter Name | Description
--- | ---
ActionID | A string to use to identify an ACI action.
Path | The folder in which to save the backup file.
