Backup HELIO

HELIO stores all of its data in a single HELIO Data Directory. To back up HELIO, it's enough to back up this one directory.

How To Back Up​

  1. Locate the Data Directory based on your operating system.
  2. Copy or archive the whole directory to a safe location (external drive, network share, or your regular backup solution).

Back Up While HELIO Is Not Running

To avoid backing up a partially written state, stop the HELIO Runtime before copying the directory.

When to Back Up​

  • Before upgrading – see Before the Upgrade for the full upgrade checklist.
  • Before making any important configuration changes you might want to undo.
  • Regularly, when running on target devices in production.
