Hello, I currently work for an organization that implemented version 5.12 of Dataverse, but now they want to make a backup and update this on another computer, but the truth is I have not understood the architecture and additionally I do not know what files I should backup to be able to do the respective implementation, could you help?
Hi! Generally speaking, you'll want to back up the database and the files that users have uploaded.
