**Default full backup**:

* Knowledge base (including vector database content)
* Notes, drawings, files, and other attachments

**Slim backup**(Optional): There is a **Slim backup** switch on the backup screen that will**skip image, knowledge base, and other data files, and only back up chat records and settings**, small in size and fast, suitable for frequent incremental backups.

Backup files will contain sensitive information such as Provider API keys.**Do not share backup files with others, and do not store them on untrusted shared cloud drives**.
{% endhint %}

## How often to back up?

* **Manual backup**: click the 'Backup' button anytime
* **Automatic backup**: can be set to run automatically every hour / day / week

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cherryai.com.cn/docs/en-us/pre-basic/data-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
