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 that are shown in this table are _unique_. This is done in the background by comparing the _Last Modification_ parameter of every backup that is created. The benefit of this approach is that if the user sorts the table by the column _Last Modification_ you get a sort of version history of your DOM Backups and only see the unique backup moments that are meaningful to restore.

> In the background, upon restoring a previous back-up, there is checked if the module already exists. If so, an automatic backup is taken. Afterwards it is deleted and the old backup is imported. While this is a safe approach, it can take time, depending on the computing power of your system and reading/writing speed from/to your indexing engine.
