2. File System Backup
Check Backup Files:
The Project folder under Common Directory (or Domain Repository) is where data including automated tests scripts/results, attachments, etc. is saved. Make a copy of this common directory including all subfolders and files.
If you are storing your automated tests outside the project folder, then you will also need to make a copy of them. To verify whether your tests are outside the project folder, you go to
Project Admin or Site Admin and check tests_directory value in dataconst table under the project. If it is not set as tests but some other locations, which means your tests are outside of project folder.
