Extended repository service settings
Use this page to configure the repository checkpoint location and to enable automatic checkpoints. The extended repository service enables you to back up and restore the configuration repository. The configuration repository contains documents that manage the product configuration.
To view this administrative console page, click .
You can create repository checkpoints to save snapshots of the configuration as you make changes, so that you can easily undo those changes if necessary. You can configure your repository to create automatic delta checkpoints each time you make a configuration change. A delta checkpoint saves a copy of the configuration documents prior to saving your changes. You can specify the number of automatic checkpoints to save. After this limit is reached, the next checkpoint replaces the oldest.
If you are a user with a monitor or an operator role, you can only view the repository checkpoint information. If you are a user with a configurator or an administrator role, you have all configuration privileges for repository checkpoints.
