How to backup Purepath

[owen_chen]

I have a client who wants to back up Purepath from time to time, and can query it again if necessary in the future. As far as I know, there is currently no way to back up purepath. Is there any other way can provide me?

Thanks in advance

There is no way to export PurePath / Transaction data from Dynatrace to analyze later or import again.

Again another very very useful feature that was in AppMon but not provided in OneAgent.

Yes that's definitely a feature that's had it's uses and many of my customers missed it during the migration from appmon.

it would be interesting to have this feature. It was very useful in appmon

With Dynatrace Managed, I still believe this can be accomplished by using hierarchical storage for the server level data (those binary files). This storage is partitioned by time and is a good fit for HSM. Then you can pump up the retention time to the limit of your storage (365 days I believe the maximum anyway).  

Never tried - but I don't see any reason why this should not work in case you have some sort of HSM.
