Backup

It is critical to regularly backup the CoreSight database, as it contains all your cartographies and inventory data.

Automated Backups

The system creates an automatic backup in /opt/coresight/backups/ right before an update is applied.

Manual Backups

You can backup the database file at any time:

sudo cp /opt/coresight/server/data/coresight.db /path/to/secure/storage/coresight_backup_$(date +%F).db

Security Notice

The database is encrypted. Backing up the database file without the encryption key (DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY in .env) is useless. Always backup your .env file securely.
