===Attachments===__NOEDITSECTION__
{{IMSMANG}} stores attachments on the server file system separate from the {{IMSMANG}} database. Because of the total file size of the attachments, it may not be beneficial or necessary to back up the attachments each time. {{IMSMANG}} Backup provides the option to exclude attachments when performing a backupwhich is '''not''' recommended.
For regular, complete backups, it is highly recommended to include attachments. It is also possible to take an IMSMA backup of the database and a file backup of the attachments. Excluding attachments from the backup routine is not recommended.
===GIS Database===__NOEDITSECTION__
