Backing up your system
When installing an application, back up your system after each step to ensure that you can revert to the last working version of the system if you encounter an issue.

- Verify that all rules are checked in.
- Shut down the Pega Platform application server.
- Use your database utilities to complete an offline backup of the Pega database.
- Back up the configuration and environment files. If you edited any of the
following Pega Platform configuration files in the APP-INF\classes directory of
an EAR deployment or the WEB-INF\classes directory of a WAR deployment, include
these files in the backup:
