Hi, I'm trying to use an "image" system to deploy ETS on a machine (for deployment on spare machines), because human intervention isn't possible in those cases. I tried to create an archive (conservating permissions) of a working installation. After reset of machine, i tried to put back the archive at same location than before, but I have issue either to log to web interface (AppServer DEBUG logs says "Completed 401 Unauthorized"), or if I manage to log , the pair languages aren't detected. My question is, are there some settings that are store in different location(s) that the one I entered during initial installation ? 

Apart from the Install folder backup, which normally is under  /opt/sdl/ets , user needs to backup ETS installation configuration under /etc/opt/sdl/etc 

How to backup ETS Master Host

In order to back the ETS Master Host, you need to backup the following folders:

Linux	Windows	Comment
/opt/sdl/ets/sdl-ets.lic	C:\Program Files\SDL\SDL ETS\sdl-ets.lic	ETS license file (authorized LPs)
/opt/sdl/ets/auth	C:\Program Files\SDL\SDL ETS\auth	Encryption keys
/opt/sdl/ets/conf	C:\Program Files\SDL\SDL ETS\conf	ETS application configuration files
/opt/sdl/ets/data	C:\Program Files\SDL\SDL ETS\data	User dictionaries, user accounts, job history, etc.
Optional folders
/opt/sdl/ets	C:\Program Files\SDL\SDL ETS	This would backup the entire ETS installation including binaries, logs, language pairs
/etc/opt/sdl/etc	C:\ProgramData\SDL\SDL ETS	ETS installation configuration
