**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 2.13.1  
My PHP version is: 7.1.33  
My Database type and version is: Debian 4.9.272-2

**Your problem**

I wanna backup all my emails by copying them from server directory via ftp access. But I cant find the directory where the emails html files are stored. URL contains preview directory but no such physical directory is on the server. Can you give me a hint? Thank you

Hello,  
Not sure what do you mean by Email, so here is a complete answer:

1. Your email templates (themes) are stored under /themes in your main Mautic folder.
2. The HTML version of your emails are stored in the database in the **emails** table **custom\_html** column.
3. If you use MJML, then the MJML version of your emails are stored in the **bundle\_grapesjsbuider** table **custom\_mjml** column.

Hi,

thank you. I am attaching pictures illustrating what I mean. So do I understand correctly that these preview emails don´t exist as separate files and they are only in the database?

Thank you

Olga

Correct, these emails are stored in the DB in the emails table, custom\_html column.
