There are currently two objects that can be backed up:

ObjectDescription/Info
DataTypically backed up and stored in a tar.gz file
AttachmentsBy default, these are not stored in the tar.gz file but are on the filesystem under <zephyr_install_dir>/zephyrdata


Please ensure you are logged into the machine on which Zephyr Server is installed to access attachment backup/restore processes. You will need to be logged into your database server to backup the database data separately. Attachment script files must be run with appropriate permissions.

It is highly recommended that you consistently backup your Zephyr Attachments and Database.
