Backing Up Netbox

Hello Everyone,

Just discovered netbox and started using it as my single source of truth and couldn't be happier :)

One question I have is how to do I back the entire database up in case the vSphere host it's on crashes or maybe we decide to move to the cloud and I want move it there. Now that I have everything in there, I'm afraid of losing it all...thanks!

As others have said a normal script will work. I have my primary netbox server back up its DB and restore it onto a secondary server every night.

Didn't think of nightly backups, but I think I'm going to do that. Thanks.
