• Your database: This includes all platform data, configurations, and user information.
• Your measurements: All sensor data and collected readings are securely stored.
• Deployed plugins: Customization's and extensions are preserved for seamless restoration.
• Current platform services: The active service configuration at the backup point is captured.
