Backups 💥

This is as simple as backing up your MongoDB database - an official guide is published here. yeeturl doesn't save any files on your machine; you could even run it with no write access as long as the database does have it, making it easy to restore everything. Usually, the restore process should be done by restoring your MongoDB database and following the self-hosting steps above.
