How to configure Local Disk Backup

Introduction

Local Disk Backup stores backup files directly on the RingQ server’s internal storage, and this will serve as the system’s default storage location unless another external backup destination (such as FTP, SFTP, or AWS S3) is configured. By default, all generated backup files are saved locally within the server environment, ensuring immediate availability and faster restore operations within the same server instance.

Backup Configuration
