Restoring & Backing Up the Database

You can back up and restore the DeployR database through the Database tab in the Administration Console.

In this tab, you can export the contents of the database used by DeployR into a ZIP file as a way to backup data or as the first step in migrating data between two or more DeployR-server instances. You can also import this content into the repository on this server instance from a previously exported ZIP file.
