Backup

On this page

The Backup page lets you create a snapshot of the project and restore it from a previously saved archive. Use backups to protect against accidental misconfiguration, hardware failure, or to migrate the project to a different server.

Creating a backup

Open the Backup page

Navigate to Settings → Backup.

Create the backup

Click Create Backup. The system packages the current project state into a single archive file.

Download the archive

Once the archive is ready, download it and store it in a location that is accessible independently of the server hardware — for example a network share or a local workstation.

Back up before making significant changes

Create a backup before editing alarm rules, modifying notification channels, or making structural changes to the project. A fresh backup lets you roll back quickly if something goes wrong.

Restoring from a backup

Open the Backup page

Navigate to Settings → Backup.

Upload the backup file

Click Restore and select the backup archive from your computer.

Confirm the restore

Confirm the operation. The system applies the archive and restores the project to the state it was in when the backup was created.

Restore overwrites the current project

Restoring a backup replaces the current project configuration and data with the contents of the archive. Any changes made after the backup was taken will be lost. If you need to preserve recent work, create a new backup of the current state before restoring an older one.
