  • system folder, stores backup files exported by the system such as DB-DeployDB-Restore, and DB-Backup Pipeline. The files in this folder will be separated from the Staging and Production folder.
  • user folder, stores backup files that you have uploaded from the local environment or external storage.
The database files must be in bacpac format.
