You will find, on the left, the parameters and action buttons. On the right, this is the real-time status of the current action (backup or restoration), if you have launched one.
Backups : Allows you to start a backup manually and immediately (useful if you want to make a critical change. This will allow you to go back). You also have a button to start a backup without sending the archive to the cloud (requires subscription see below). Sending a cloud backup may take a while. This option thus avoids an excessive loss of time.

Important
Jeedom backups must absolutely fall into a dedicated folder only !!! It will delete everything that is not a jeedom backup from the folder
During a backup, Jeedom will backup all of its files and the database. This therefore contains all of your configuration (equipment, controls, history, scenarios, design, etc.).
In terms of protocols, only the Z-Wave (OpenZwave) is a bit different because it is not possible to save the inclusions. These are directly included in the controller, so you have to keep the same controller to find its Zwave modules.
NOTE
The system on which Jeedom is installed is not backed up. Yes you have modified parameters of this system (in particular via SSH), it's up to you to find a way to recover them in case of problems. Similarly, the outbuildings are not either, so you will have to reinstall them after a restoration
Cloud backup allows Jeedom to send your backups directly on the Market. This allows you to restore them easily and be sure not to lose them. The Market keeps the last 6 backups. To subscribe just go to your page profile on the Market, then in the tab my backups. Vous can, from this page, retrieve a backup or buy a subscription (for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months).
Tip
You can customize the name of the backup files from of the tab My jeedoms, avoiding however the characters exotic.
Jeedom performs an automatic backup every day at the same hour. It is possible to modify this, from the "Engine tasks "(the task is named Jeedom backup), but it’s not recommended. Indeed, it is calculated in relation to the load of the Market.
