Sisense uses MongoDB for storing your Sisense web environment information. This information includes how dashboard and widgets are configured, your system's users and groups, and many other configurations. Since the web environment can regularly change, and may need to be restored, it's useful to keep regular backups of this data. This article shows how to use a program that will perform daily backups of this data:

The MongoBackup.bat file is used for backing up your MongoDB, and the MongoRestore.bat file is used in case you need to restore the backed up information.

Change the credentials
You can open each of these files in notepad. It will look like this:
Change the credentials to those you've just created.

The easiest way to do so is to use the Windows program Task Scheduler. Information on how to schedule a task can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-edit-delete-and-restore-tasks-30346281-30d4-4d6b-a...
