This topic lists the files that should be backed
up for the Process Engine. You can back up the
workflow database files either with the Windows
backup or the native RDBMS tools. The list includes
both Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server database
files. The database files you back up depend
on your system configuration.
In a multi-server configuration, some files
exist only on the primary Process Engine; others
exist on each Process Engine. This is noted
where applicable in the comments.
