Hi As for Ansible Tower, it mentions about backup and restore.[http://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/backup\_restore.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/backup_restore.html) Although the scope seems to cover only for clustered environments. I was looking for backup and restore in AWX. Is backup and restore supported in AWX? If so, where is it located? Thanks Jae Kim ---

"No. The tower backup restore process won't work for awx. To backup and restore awx you just need to backup your postgres database." Does that mean all the logs and playbooks get stored in the database for AWX? ---

No. The logs are either on disk or stored in your external logger, if you have that configured. It’s best practice to manage your playbooks using a remote SCM. A re-run of the project sync will “restore” the projects. Manual projects will not be backed up.
