Hi Dushan,
Per Backup and restore - IBM Documentation
The soarSystemBackup backs up specific point-in-time data from PostgreSQL database (through the pgBackRest repository), key vaults, configuration files, attachments, and Elasticsearch indexes. The entire backup archive can then be restored on another system. You can also use this backup solution to create backups without taking down the system. This method is more efficient than other backup methods and results in less downtime, making it the recommended backup and restore method for the SOAR Platform.
The resSystemBackup and resSystemRestore commands to back up the PostgreSQL database, key vault, and attachments. It is intended for complete backups. You can use these commands to migrate the SOAR Platform to another server.
If looking for a backup solution, I'd look to soarSystemBackup. If you're migrating to a different server, thne use the resSystemBackup. It appears that resSystemBackup is the original backup solution, and the soaringSystemBackup is the new and improved version as it supports backing up while the system is still online, and other features.
Hope this helps :)

Hi all!
What is the difference between soarSystemBackup and resSystemBackup? What's the safest method to get the full configuration and data backup of SOAR?
Appreciate your responses.
Thank you.
