How to Create a Backup

1. Navigate to Backup & Restore:
   Open the Backup & Restore section in RTLS Studio.
   

2. Create a New Backup:
   Click the CREATE NEW BACKUP button. This process may take some time.

   • To reduce the backup file size, you can skip the largest datasets (e.g., historical positions, battery levels, sensors). This option is available from RS 1.6.1 via a checkbox.
   • Note: If you include all data, backup creation can take significantly longer, especially if the position database is large (potentially tens of GB)
     

3. View Backup in My Backups:
   Once the backup is complete, it will appear in the My Backups table.
