Backups

Backups

Backups protect the Printbuddy database, archived prints, thumbnails, logs, and settings.

What to back up

At minimum, back up:

• /app/data
• configuration files or compose files used to start the instance
• any external backup folder mounted into the container

Logs in /app/logs are useful for troubleshooting but may not be as critical as the database and archive data.

Docker volume names

The default compose file uses:

printbuddy_data
printbuddy_logs

Recommended practice

• Put data on reliable storage.
• Schedule automatic backups.
• Keep at least one backup outside the Docker host.
• Test restore before you need it.
