Where self hosted Formbricks keeps surveys in database on Linux servers. Exact folders are covered below.
Last updated
Formbricks is surveys with server storage. The database holds surveys, actions, and responses. Templates cache beside it.
Same database means same surveys. Exact paths vary by Docker versus bare installs. Keep backups on schedule. One missing table restores surveys without responses. For moves, stop writes first to avoid split counts during copies. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.

Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate Formbricks to a new server?
Back up the Formbricks database with services stopped, then install the same release on the new server before restore. Surveys follow the database. Mixed releases can refuse old schemas, so match versions first. Keep API keys separate.
Does Formbricks back up responses?
Yes, in the server database per survey with response history attached. The host holds a working copy plus template cache. Views rebuild after restore. Export CSVs from results for records, since the data directory alone is working state.
