Files to backup on Exchange 2016 before installing a CU

Deleted
Not applicable

New to Exchange 2016. In the past with Exchange 2010, before installing a CU I would backup certain files which I believe were in C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\Owa\"version"\themes\resources

Version of course being that last folder created by the CU.

Is the path different in Exchange 2016? I realize everyone has different files and customizations to save but I'm just trying to narrow it down to a folder path. The last person that did this did not document this information such as customized logo's for OWA etc.....Also, I read that with Exchange 2016 CU's, The install automatically creates a backup of the web.config files in all the folders. Is this true?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

if you are enquiring about files for the customisation of OWA etc, then the details are here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients/outlook-on-the-web/customize-outlook-on-the-web?v...
If you are talking about themes, then the details are here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients/outlook-on-the-web/themes?view=exchserver-2019

 

I'm not sure that a CU install performs any backup. The Microsoft site detailing the CU install process says that no customisations survive the install process.
