Backup Overview

Open /app/admin/system/settings/backup to review backup readiness and create backups.

Backup settings overview

DeskDox includes manual backups can include the database, files, and a config export. The Create Backup area shows whether the backup subsystem is ready and the effective backup root where archives are written.

Backups are high-value operational artifacts. Store them in a protected location, control who can download them, and confirm backup and restore procedures outside peak production hours. Do not assume a backup is usable until validation or restore testing has been performed in an approved environment.

Backup, restore, and storage management are System Admin functions. EDMS Admins may see other settings sections but DeskDox keeps these Data sections out for non-System Admins.
