Backup and restore database

You are able to backup and restore the contents of the database used by QuickBuild by using data management section of the Administration tab. It is a good idea to backup your database regularly to ensure you can restore your data in case of a hardware failure. Please note that the backup and restore process only affect data saved in the database (such as configurations, groups, users etc.), all other contents i\on the disk (such as generated build artifacts) are not backed up or restored.

[Warning]Warning

The backup process may take a long time if the system contains large amount of builds. You can speed up this process by deleting unwanted builds. It is also a good idea to set a reserve by days (or reserve by count ) build cleanup strategy for configurations which generates many, many builds over time (for example configurations created for continuous integration purpose).
