Create clone preservers to protect data on the target instance from being overwritten.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

Preserving large amounts of data can significantly increase your clone duration. Only preserve tables if
necessary.

The Preservers tab displays a list of all of your available data preservers. Preservers protect data on the target instance from being overwritten. If you have custom
applications, you must also manually preserve your unpublished application content. To create a preserver, do the following.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllClone Admin ConsoleClone Dashboard.
2. Select Definitions from the secondary navigation bar.
3. Select the Preservers tab.
4. On the Preservers task page, select New.
5. Enter the table label as the Name for your preserver.  
   Note:  
   The data preserver must have a table selected or it can't be submitted.
6. Select the Table to be preserved.
7. Select the Theme check box if the data being preserved is a UI property.
8. Define the data to be preserved using the Condition builder, and select Save.  
   The success message displays.
