# 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.
