# Backups Monolith On-premises deployments do not include a native backup solution. The customer is responsible for creating and managing backups for data stored in the Monolith deployment. The customer should set up a backup system that creates backups of the "data" folder maintained by the Monolith server. A backup solution for the MySQL Monolith database should also be implemented. The MySQL backup process should create something similar to SQL dumps of the databases stored by Monolith in MySQL. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
