You can backup the import file prior to it being processed to ensure that the process format and its preprocessor were configured correctly and no data is lost or damaged in the import file.

If a file already exists in the backup location with the same name as the import file you are trying to backup, the import file will not be processed unless the Create Unique Subdirectories option is selected.

Tip:

It is considered a best practice to always select the Backup Path check box.

To enable the backup-prior-to-processing option:

  1. Select the Backup Path check box.
  2. Click Backup Path. The Backup Path dialog box is displayed.
  3. Enter the path to the backup location (the location where the import file is to be copied to) in the Backup Location field, or click Browse to browse to the folder.
    Note:

    If you enter a path that does not exist (that is, a folder not already created), it will automatically be created when the process is run.

  4. Select Create Unique Subdirectories if multiple import files have the same file name and each of them need to be backed up.

    By default, if a process format uses an import file that has the same name as (but different content than) an existing backup file, the file is not processed. Select Create Unique Subdirectories to allow import files with the same name to be processed and backed up to unique subdirectories. When this option is selected, a unique subdirectory is created within the specified backup directory for each import file. The directory is created in the following format, based on the date and time the process is run: Month_Date_Year_Hour_Minute_Second(that is, mm_dd_yyyy_hh_mm_ss).

    Alternatively, select Allow Overwrite of Backup to have import files with the same name as an existing backup file overwrite the old backup. This can be useful if you frequently use import files with the same name and don't want a high volume of unique subdirectories.

    These options also function with FTP backups, if applicable.

  5. Click Save.
