Database Backup

YouTrack uses its own in-process database, no dedicated database server is required.

Each backup file contains a snapshot of your database including all the attachments that are stored on your server at the time the file was created.

A collection of valid backup files can come in handy if you need to restore your installation after an outage or attack. We strongly recommend that you enable regular backup of your YouTrack database and set up notifications should the backup fail.
