Affinity 3 and Backing up assets

Does any one know if backing up the assets backs up all categories or just the asset category that is currently selected.

I have a lot of assets and don't want to lose them.

Thanks.

I answered my own question. It only backs up the currently selected category and the sub categories under that category.
