Hi AstonishingSeaturtle47 ,
Absolutely! 🙂
Whether running Trains Server locally (using docker-compose , for example) or in the cloud (using one of our AWS AMIs), you can always perform regular backups of the data directory (where all experiment data and metadata is stored).
See https://allegro.ai/docs/deploying_trains/trains_deploy_overview/ option #3 for information on how to deploy your own Trains Server, and https://allegro.ai/docs/deploying_trains/trains_server_upgrading/ which includes instructions on how to backup your data (under Data directory backup and restore example commands ).

So you suggest that if I backup /opt/trains (assuming I use the docker-compose option on linux) I will be able to recover from it. Thanks for the fast reply
