Hi @rama888
You are using H2 for the application data, which is stored in metabase.db.mv.db - likely in the same directory as metabase.jar, but that depends on how you’re starting Metabase and which parameters you’re using:
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/backing-up-metabase-application-data.html
But you should migrate away from H2 if you are using Metabase in production:
