# Repository

### General

The repository is the database which is managed by the [Server](/release36/docs/server) and contains all the data of Mail & Deploy. It is contained in a single file named *Repository.db* in the *Data* sub-directory of the root installation directory.

          WARNING

          

If you delete the *Repository.db* file, all content of Mail & Deploy will be deleted.

You can configure automatic backups of the repository by adapting the [Backup Settings](/release36/docs/backup-settings).
