How the dump operation handles content depends on where the content is stored and how the include_content parameter is set in the dump_parameter argument of the dump object.

By default, if the content is stored in a file store, EMC Centera storage area, or NetApp SnapLock storage area, the content is not included in the dump file. You can set the include_content parameter to include such content. If you are dumping a repository that has encrypted file store storage areas, you must include the content in the dump file. Content Server decrypts the content before placing it into the dump file.

Dumping without content describes the default behavior and requirements for handling dump files without content. Including content describes how to include content and the requirements for dump files with content.

If the content is stored in a blob or turbo storage area, the content is automatically included in the dump file because the content is stored in the repository.

Content stored in external storage cannot be included in a dump file.
