Research direction

Start by reviewing the Administrator settings page and the existing data and channel storage entry points. Define the backup and restore scope, including all data and channel data, and determine how a tar archive would be created and imported for deployment on another server. Done means both export and import workflows are specified and covered for the requested data.
