@pichalite Only for database ?

And the uploads folder. The only place NodeBB stores data is in the database and in the uploads folder.

I posted a nice script that does daily, weekly, monthly backups of the mongodb. I'll try and find it.

You could probably add a command to backup your uploads folder too.

Best to follow guides from Mongodb

1. Copy all the files in the webroot
2. Use mongodump to backup your DB: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongodump/

Almost all data is saved in the DB except uploaded files
