Backing Up ARDI
You can backup your ARDI installation by going to the Administration page (via the sidebar) and hitting 'Backup Database'.
You will be given a few options for components you might want to back up. For the largest but most complete backup, make sure that every option is checked.
This will include all of your media, your symbols, 3D model, skins and the database itself, so even compressed it may be quite large.
NOTE - To restore backups taken using this method requires a fully-working ARDI system to be installed, which takes time and resources to set up. Our preferred method of creating a backup is to create a 'Bare Metal' backup by taking a snapshot of your virtual machine image. Instructions on how to do this will be found within your NAS, hypervisor or cloud hosting solution.
