Hello @StephaneB !

So currently the Gladys Plus backup saves Gladys’s database, and that database contains the information necessary to correctly restart the MQTT and Zigbee2mqtt integrations (it’s a recent development that required a lot of work and has been available since 4.18: [Gladys Assistant 4.18 : Sauvegarde Zigbee2mqtt et gestion native des boutons (clic simple, double, ...)](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/gladys-assistant-4-18-sauvegarde-zigbee2mqtt-et-gestion-native-des-boutons-clic-simple-double/8039))

However, your Python server is not backed up (which is logical :p), and Node-RED isn’t either.

To back up your Node-RED, see what the Node-RED project recommends for automatic backups (if you want to automate it); otherwise what @cce66 suggests also works manually

> Only Node-RED is installed separately so unfortunately not managed by Gladys, there is a request for that — you can add your vote 😊 [Node-RED integration to launch a container in one click](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/integration-node-red-pour-lancer-un-container-en-un-clic/6584)

Note that for now this request only talks about launching Node-RED, not backing it up. I don’t even know if Node-RED offers an API to retrieve a backup (like Zigbee2mqtt does, for example).
