Backup for Local Databases
Local Model Manager databases can be backed up using any regular backup software used for backing up the workstation. Make sure to include all files and subdirectories in the database directory as described in
A Local Database on the File System
: the SQLite
®
database file, the
resources
directory, and the
indexes
directory. You may reduce the total disk space usage of your backups by optionally skipping the
indexes
directory as its file contents can always be recreated by Model Manager.
It may be tempting to place the database directory in a local folder on your computer that is automatically synchronized using cloud storage software with a remote cloud drive. This is not supported, however, and COMSOL Multiphysics will report an error if it detects such a file system path. For more information, see

.
To restore a previously backed-up database directory, copy the database directory and all its file contents from your backup location to your computer and follow the steps in
Opening a Local Database
.
See the
Model Manager Server Manual
for backup and restore of a Model Manager server database.
