accounts.json: users, including portal usersowners.json: who owns each claim, and which claims are shared with which clientshared.json: claim index, messages, portal messages, authority requestsblobs/: claim files, photos and shared documentsaudit.jsonl: history
The nightly off-site backup (below) copies that folder, and Render takes daily disk snapshots (kept 7 days).
Everything is logged in History, including assignments and reassignments, portal sign-ins, client messages, downloads, uploads and authority decisions.
