# Admin Guide: Backup & Recovery

This guide covers backup and recovery practices for DataUnfold.

## Backups

– Back up the SQLite/APSW database regularly and store copies offsite.

– Export important project data periodically (exports or database dumps).

## Recovery

– To recover, restore the database file and restart services.

– If restoring to a different version, ensure schema compatibility or run migrations.

## Logs & debugging

– Collect logs from all services when investigating failures. Include timestamps and relevant request IDs.
