Protecting your firm’s intelligence requires a robust backup strategy for both the relational database and the S3-compatible document store.

​
Relational Data (RDS Equivalent)

Perform daily snapshots of your local PostgreSQL database: 
docker exec sc-db pg_dump -U scoutline > backup_$(date +%F).sql

​
Document Store (Vault)

Backup your local Vault volumes to an off-site, air-gapped storage location. Since Scoutline uses a standardized file structure, traditional rsync or dedicated volume backup tools are fully compatible.

​
Restoration Workflow

To restore your instance:
  1. Re-initialize the Docker stack on a fresh host.
  2. Inject the .env and keys.json files.
  3. Import the database SQL dump.
  4. Mount the backed-up Vault volumes.
  5. Run scoutline-cli validate to ensure integrity.
