A complete backup set includes:
• The SQL Server database configured by OddcDbConnection
• C:\ProgramData\activerecord.com\ODDC\5.1\ObjectStore
• C:\ProgramData\activerecord.com\ODDC\5.1\State
• C:\ProgramData\activerecord.com\ODDC\5.1\DataProtection-Keys
• The deployed ar.oddc.server.config.json
• Any document processing project source, destination, exception, and processed folders whose contents are not protected elsewhere
• The HTTPS certificate and private key, exported according to organizational policy
Because the ODDC Server software license is binding to a specific host server by hardware fingerprint, check to see if your license can be reactivated.
For a consistent backup:
1. Stop document producers or pause incoming file delivery
2. Stop the ODDC Server service and allow graceful job completion
3. Back up SQL Server and the file locations as one recovery point
4. Restart the service and resume producers
For restore to the same machine, restore the database and file data together, confirm all paths and permissions, then start the service. For restore to different hardware, expect to reinstall the HTTPS certificate, re-enter encrypted integration secrets if DPAPI cannot decrypt them, and reactivate the license. Validate a representative document from import through export before reopening production intake.
