If you want to restart your environment after creating a backup archive, wait until the backup completes. Tables are locked while the database is in the process of creating a backup, so you may receive a timeout error if you try to start your environment while the backup is being created.

## Files in a Backup
41+
42+
All files will be included in the backup unless the **DeleteAfterDownload** attribute of the **System.FileDocument** entity, or any of its generalizations, is set to **true**.
43+
44+
The **DeleteAfterDownload** flag is a security feature that automatically removes files from the file storage system immediately after a successful download and ensures these files are excluded from system backups.
45+
46+
This flag is particularly important when handling sensitive or confidential data, as it guarantees that once a file is downloaded and deleted, it cannot be retrieved from either the active storage or backup systems, thereby maintaining complete data security throughout the file's lifecycle.
