How Backup Works

The application backs up everything it's going to change;
and upon failure, it restores the original state.

This includes:

• Target server configuration - through Management API batch rollback.
• Files created or changed - through moving them back from a temporary location.

Currently, the app operates with the configuration file which is in effect for the running target server, as it needs a server running to be able to connect to Management API.

In the future, we plan to copy the selected config file and (re)start the server with the copy of the config file. The rollback would naturally be simply deleting the copy.
