Hi¡ I ask me… How can i do a backup of the forms? All my campaigns are finished and i have some problems with the installation. I´d like to install clear Mautic again to solve my problems¡ (I hope) But… I don´t want to lose my 20 forms. Thanks

You can’t make a backup of the forms. You have to do a full backup of the Mautic database

Thank you very much for the answer @ninjoan! I guess it can be done through the database, right?

Have you tried it?  
What SQL command did you use?  
I think it might be useful for everyone 😃

You can dump a complete database with the following command:

```auto
mysqldump -u DataBaseUser -p MauticDatabaseName > SqlOutputFileName.sql
```
