When working productively you should backup the data and configuration of Part-DB regularly to prevent data loss. This is also useful, if you want to migrate your Part-DB instance from one server to another. In that case you just have to backup the data on server 1, move the backup to server 2, install Part-DB on server 2 and restore the backup.

## Backup ## Backup (automatic)
Part-DB includes a command `php bin/console partdb:backup` which automatically collects all the needed data (described below) and saves them to a ZIP file.
If you are using a MySQL/MariaDB database you need to have `mysqldump` installed and added to your `$PATH` env.
### Usage
To backup all possible data, run the following command: `php bin/console partdb:backup --full /path/to/backup/partdb_backup.zip`.
It is possible to do only partial backups (config, attachments, or database). See `php bin/console partdb:backup --help` for more infos about these options.
## Backup (manual)
There are 3 parts which have to be backup-ed: The configuration files, which contains the instance specific options, the uploaded files of attachments, and the database containing the most data of Part-DB.
