Backup and Restore

This section explains how to back up and restore Software Risk Manager using backup.ps1 and restore.ps1 in the scripts directory. Both scripts include a -p project name parameter that you should specify if you used a project name with your Docker Compose up command.

The backup script creates a new volume named codedx-backups where each backup gets stored by name. You can either specify a name or let the backup script generate a name for you formatted as backup-{date}-{time}.

Note: Be cautious of commands such as docker volume prune. The volume storing Software Risk Manager backups is not attached to a container and would be deleted.
