Issue
I am looking to take automated backups of the apps I created, but I can't find the database in MongoDB. I want to know where the apps are stored, so I can run a crontab job to backup to another location.
Resolution
We recommend backing up your entire Appsmith instance or database using the appsmithctl utility instead. It provides built-in commands to handle both full instance backups (including database, configs, and assets) and database-only backups.
You can find the detailed guides here:
This approach ensures your apps, users, and configurations are safely preserved and easy to restore.
