Backup, Restore & Move

FERP use a central database to store everything. You can use different tools to backup and restore the database.

Depending on your requirements, maybe you also want to backup the global configuration file config.json.

Backup / Restore is a safe way to move a system from one server to another server if and only if the both server are:

1. running exact the same FERP version (including all plugins).
2. running exact the same database version.
3. reachable under the same URL (domain name).

You may have to shutdown the old server before restoring to the new server. You can follow this instruction to change domain before or after the movement.

WARNING:

1. Both the database and the configuration file contain sensitive data. Never store or transmit them in an insecure way.
2. Always verify the source of the data before restoring the system.
