Back up your local business records
Keep a separate copy and verify that recovery is possible.
What to do
- Open Settings and the Keep your data section. Choose Full database backup for a consistent database copy.
- Save the downloaded file in a private location. A local database can contain business records and sensitive configuration; do not attach it to a public support request.
- Keep the backup separate from the working database. A readable JSON snapshot is useful for inspecting records but is different from the full database backup.
- Before relying on a backup for recovery, arrange a controlled restore check using a separate data location. Do not overwrite the working database as a casual test.
Cloud drives are not integrated account connections in the current app. A folder being synchronized by the operating system does not prove a tested restore process. This documentation did not restore or modify your database. Keep the application’s startup and private-data-location instructions with your recovery copy.
