Where is the Dynamics 365 CRM data stored?

Posted on by Antonio Llanero 95

Hi.

I've been making modifications in Dynamics 365 CRM for a while, adding new entities, fields and views.

I want to back up everything, but I don't know where it is saved.

I suppose they will be done in Sql Server, but I have looked and I have many databases of various installations that I did and I don't know how to distinguish them.

I have two that end in _MSCRM and one that is called MSCRM_CONFIG. I also have 2 from the ReportServer, one ends with the name of TempDB, which I don't know if they are different from CRM.

I have tried adding a new field, but I don't see it update the modification date in any database.

Can anyone help me here?

Greetings and thanks.
