This is a generic connector that ingests all of the available **DOM modules in the DMS** and takes a backup of each module based on user requirements.

It is intended for users that depend a lot on DOM for their day-to-day operations, so they can have the peace of mind of knowing that if something goes wrong with their system, all their DOM modules will be backed up.

This connector offers the ability to include DOM instances in the backups along with some quality-of-life configuration for e.g. frequency of backups, maximum backups, etc.

> The restorables displayed in this table are **unique**. They are determined by comparing the Last Modification parameter of each created backup. This comparison process runs in the background. The advantage of this approach is that when the user sorts the table by the Last Modification column, it effectively creates a version history of DOM backups, showing only the distinct backup moments that are meaningful for restoration. It is normal not to see all backups of the backup folder in this table, especially if multiple backups were taken without any changes made in between.

> [!WARNING]
89

> In the background, when a previous backup is restored, the system first checks if the module already exists. If it does, an automatic backup is created before the existing module is deleted and the old backup is imported. Although this approach ensures safety, it can be time-consuming depending on your system's computing power and the read/write speed of your indexing engine.
