# Database

> Back up and migrate system settings (Config) and the database, and export all chats.

<Info>Admin › Settings › Database</Info>

<Note>
  This page provides **backup/migration of system settings and the database**. It differs from [Database (DbSphere)](/en/workspace/database), which handles SQL data in the workspace.
</Note>

Export or import admin settings (Config) and the database as files for **cross-environment migration and backup**.

<Warning>
  Exported Config/database may contain **sensitive settings and secrets** (connection keys, tokens, etc.). Store files securely and import them only into trusted environments. For how secrets are encrypted, see the [Encryption](/en/admin/settings/encryption) settings.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Database/Redis **connection strings** (`DATABASE_URL`, `REDIS_URL`, `DATABASE_SCHEMA`) and multi-worker / scheduled-backup policy are configured through server **environment variables**, not the GUI → see the [Deployment checklist](/en/admin/deployment-checklist).
