Where: Tools → Base settings backup
Steps

- Upload valid JSON no larger than 32 KiB.
- Inspect the read-only diff before confirming.
- If restoring Enforce, use the additional explicit acknowledgement after checking rules/counters.

Check the result
This is not a full configuration/forum backup: provider/Redis secrets, destinations, network policies, language, rules and records are excluded. Retention changes affect the next cleanup.
If it does not work
Changed current values or another preview requires a new review. Transaction failure must not be treated as partial acceptance. Keep the full database/files backup for disaster recovery.
