BackupMyOrg 1.1 is here! Bringing you an update full of new features, fixes, and performance improvements to make your experience backing up and restoring your items, users, and groups as easy as possible. We have some exciting new features available such as cloning button functionality, support for web experience types, and restore selections in bulk by owner and group. If you are migrating a lot of new users to a new environment, we also have a button to email all new users their credentials once they are created.
New Features and Improvments
Cloning Button Functionality
From the main menu, you can now use the cloning button to automate your content migration workflow from one organization to another. Here you can set the source and target organizations, as well as new options such as deleting the backup after cloning if you wish to save space on your hard drive. The cloning workflow will step through the backup and restore operations for you, carrying over your selected options.
Support for the Web Experience Item Type
We now support backing up and restoring your Web Experiences. When restoring to a different ArcGIS version, there are some considerations for restoration due to the differences in versions between web experiences. If a web experience contains widgets that are not present in the destination environment, the restore will not work. Also, if the ArcGIS version of the backed up Web Experience and the destination environment do not match, a warning message will be shown in the restore preprocessing stage. This is due to the data structure of web experience configurations changing between versions, which may result in a number of issues ranging from format changes to feature services not displaying.
Additional Options to Select by Group and Owner During Restore Selection
We now have additional options to make it easier for you to select the content you would like from previous restores. By using the group and owner filters on the right side of the restore selection visualization, you can apply those to select only the group or user you would like for a precision restore.
Restore Log: Option to Email New Users Credentials Once They Are Created
When restoring new users to a different destination, in a non-IWA situation, new users will need to have random passwords generated for them during account creation. We now have a button that can automate the distribution of credentials by emailing each new user with their new temporary credentials.
