Export and Backup

The backend can produce a tar.gz archive containing:

• The SQLite database (if included)
• A JSON dump of settings, customers, invoices, item taxes, and templates
• Installed template assets under data/templates/

Endpoint

GET /api/v1/export/full?includeDb=true&includeJson=true&includeAssets=true

Authentication: Requires Authorization: Bearer <token> header (obtain token from /api/v1/auth/login).

Frontend: The admin UI provides an export form in Settings that handles authentication automatically.

Notes

• The archive is generated in a temporary directory and cleaned up after download.
• File name format: invio-export-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz.
• If you run via Docker Compose, persistence is already handled by the invio_data volume, but exports are great for off‑site backups.
