In this case, other than that easy backup of the discourse control panel itself, is there any other folder that I can copy as a form of security? Because the easy backup itself happens in a minimum period of 24 hours, I installed my own backup on my own machine where I can make backups much more frequently and in any way I want, so which folder should I copy?
