Kofax Document Exchange Server Installation Guide
10 Kofax, Inc.
Back up the following:
„
All files in the folder where you installed Kofax Document Exchange Server
„
All Registry settings
Note The backup may require large amounts of disk space.
The installer also backs up folders and data in case an error prevents the upgrade from
completing. The installer can then use the backup to roll back to your previous configuration.
The following folders are backed up:
„
Avalin
„
DES, except DES and EmailWatcher
„
Documentation
„
Uninstall
„
Install Logs
„
jre
The following are also backed up or exported:
„
Database
„
Registry (Kofax Document Exchange entries only)
„
Workflows
VRS and JRE are not backed up and cannot be rolled back. When the upgrade has been completed
successfully, you have the option of deleting some or all of your backup files.
Even though the installer performs this automatic backup, you should still back up your data and
settings manually in case a failed upgrade cannot be rolled back.
Saving Custom Workflows
Custom workflows are not upgraded. During the upgrade, workflows are exported from the
database as part of the backup. The exported workflows are saved in the backup folder you
specify in the installer in a workflow folder. Use the exported workflow files if you do not have
the original .wfd files.
After performing the upgrade, deploy the custom workflow on the server with Kofax
Administration Console. Refer to the Kofax Administration Console Help for more information.

Preparation for Upgrades
Before upgrading a Kofax Document Exchange Server with attached MFPs, make sure that all scan
jobs from the MFPs have been sent to the server. Any scan jobs that have not arrived at the server
are lost during the upgrade.
