A complete recovery needs the database, uploaded files and matching encryption keys. Application and model images can be downloaded again.

​
Create a backup

Run from the checkout that owns the Docker deployment, with Postgres running:
The script creates a Postgres dump and, when present, an archive of local uploads. Keep a copy off the application host.

​
Keep these separately

Newly generated keys cannot decrypt existing content. Protect keys alongside the backup while keeping them out of source control.

​
Verify and recover

An archive listing check does not prove the whole application can be restored. Rehearse recovery on an isolated deployment, then open a representative record and uploaded file. Keep production volumes out of that test. For the recovery commands, use Verify and Restore a Backup. The technical reference explains volume names, retention and version-specific migrations.
