	The backup process will be done automatic, you just need to modify, if you see it necessary, the parameters presented above. Every time ARIS is launched, it will generate a backup depending on the ''backup_frecuency'' parameter and keep as many as the ''backup_history'' parameter indicates. During this process, you will be asked if you would like to create a copy of the backup to a USB drive; if accepted, you will then need to choose the folder where the copy will be stored.		The backup process will be done automatic, you just need to modify, if you see it necessary, the parameters presented above. Every time ARIS is launched, it will generate a backup depending on the ''backup_frecuency'' parameter and keep as many in the hard drive as the ''backup_history'' parameter indicates. During this process, you will be asked if you would like to create a copy of the backup in an external device (a.k.a USB drive), which recommended for safety reasons; if accepted, you will then need to choose the folder where the copy will be stored.

	By following these steps, you can perform regular backups of your application's database and restore the system using any of the previously created backup files.

Also, the encryption key should be kept somewhere else to be able to restore the database, since the backup will not be accessible without it.

	The backup process for ARIS application involves regularly creating backups of the application's database to ensure data safety and the ability to restore the system in case of any issues. Notice that the database is encrypted, so the encryption key will be necessary to restore it (this was set during [[~~http://dl-prod.essi.upc.edu/ARIS/index.php/~~Installation_and_Upgrades#Initial_configuration\|Initial configuration]]). Here is a step-by-step guide on how the the backup is performed and how to customize it:		The backup process for ARIS application involves regularly creating backups of the application's database to ensure data safety and the ability to restore the system in case of any issues.
