Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/643

What would you like to see?

I am running Anything LLM in one of the systems in my organisation. Now I want to scale it up and shift to another system. Is there any migration script for taking all the user data and settings to the newer system. Also if the system crashes with much of the data get corrupted, what happens in that case? Is there any provision for backup?

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Jan 23, 2024):

If you are running AnythingLLM in docker, you should be binding storage to a folder on the host machine as described in the Recommend way to run dockerized AnythingLLM

If that is the case, you can make a cron script to just zip that file and store it however you would like. It does not automatically back itself up.

If you ever were to delete and unzip an old backup to the same storage location AnythingLLM would basically be "rolled" back to the state at which the snapshot was taken since everything is in the external storage.
