Where is the data stored/how could I create backups?

[JakobStr]

I want to host my own instance of this project with https://github.com/hcengineering/huly-selfhost.
How could I create backups, in case my PC crashes?
And could they easily be moved to a new PC?
My problem is, that I cannot use any software like JIRA etc., because we have very strict data security laws here in germany.
Therefore I am also not allowed to use huly.app, because it could transfer data from my company out of the country.
Really appreciate your work!

@JakobStr please check a related q/a #6389 for the second part of your question.

Thanks for your response @lexiv0re.
I read this post before asking my question.
But I still don't understand it.
Is the data stored in a database like mongodb/sql etc.?
And how could I backup this data? Is there maybe a functionality for this already?
Thanks in advance.

@JakobStr regarding backup

I've found an answer in Huly Slack:
"This dump works only from Desktop app now, please use desktop app if you want to try: https://huly.io/download"

An update, since the Desktop-app-only answer above is outdated. Workspace owners can now download a backup in the browser under Settings → Backup, either as a single zip or with a generated curl script for large workspaces (#10935). For self-hosting, the admin tool (dev/tool, the hardcoreeng/tool image) has backup <dir> <workspace> and backup-restore <dir> <workspace> commands. Restoring into another machine or instance is described step by step in the backup and restore guide (#10945, #10953): https://github.com/hcengineering/platform/blob/develop/docs/guides/backup-restore.en.md

Note: this repository is frozen; development continues in Platform-Collective/platform (see the README).
