As a precaution, you can periodically backup the Intelligent Sandbox database. You can then restore a backup of your choice when required. For example, if you want to discard all changes made during a troubleshooting exercise, you can restore the backup that was taken before you started troubleshooting.
You can schedule automatic backups to a designated FTP or SFTP server on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
When you want to restore a backup, Intelligent Sandbox collects the selected backup file from the FTP or SFTP server and overwrites its database with the contents of the backup file.
