There should be a mechanism to backup / restore (either full or parts of the CI tree ). Over the time the CI tree in XLDeploy becomes large and holds too much information which be difficult to re-create in case of loss due to an accidentail deletion etc.
Database restore can be an options but would need a larger effort if we need tor restore only certain parts of the configuration tree.

Due to team holiday season and increased volume of requests and inquiries, we will provide more detailed responses in January, 2025.
The CI tree structure for Deploy applications, environments, and infrastructure can be exported using the XL CLI. Detailed documentation is available at: https://docs.digital.ai/deploy/docs/xl-platform/how-to/work-with-xl-yaml-format-for-deploy#generate-a-yaml-file-from-an-deploy-application-configuration .
To import this structure, use the xl apply command. Additional details about this command can be found at: https://docs.digital.ai/deploy/docs/xl-platform/concept/xl-cli-command-reference#xl-apply-command .
The number of configuration items (CIs) included in the exported file by default is limited to 256. To export more CIs, you'll need to modify the xl.deploy.devops-as-code.ci-limit setting in the deployit.conf configuration file.
While there's no defined maximum limit, it's recommended to set a reasonable value based on your needs.
