Setting Up Dropbox Backups

We always recommend customers to maintain backup of their data in ABNERP. The database backup is downloaded in the form of an SQL file. If needed, this SQL file of backup can be restored in the another ABNERP account as well.

You can automate database backup download of your ABNERP account into your Dropbox account.

> Note: If you are Frappe Cloud user, onsite and offsite backups are automatically created for you: <https://frappecloud.com/docs/sites/backups> > >
