Leapwork Platform/SME/Commercial - Database Backup steps

While working on Leapwork Platform edition, the Leapwork Controller holds all data, such as flows, sub-flows, images, schedules, and locators, etc., in the form of multiple .sqlite database files. The Controller also holds automation runs containing test flow execution artifacts, similar to automation run video and screenshots. If we have sufficient disk space, it is recommended that we create a backup of everything under the assets folder, including AutomationRunMedia.

Note: A backup of all .sqlite files is mandatory.

You must follow the below prerequisites before taking the backup:

Pre-requisites:

1. Export all the flows and save them.
2. Stop the Leapwork Controller service from windows services.

Steps to take backup for Leapwork SQLite Database:

1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the C:\Program Files\LEAPWORK.
2. Copy the Assets folder.
3. Navigate to your selected backup location.
4. Paste the Assets folder and wait until the file copy process is completed.
5. You may cross check the folder properties of the source and destination to ensure all the files have been copied.
