Data and backups (TPA)
Everything is in DATA_DIR:
accounts.json: users, including portal usersowners.json: claim owners and client sharingshared.json: claim index, messages, portal messages, authority requests, loss funds, shared loss runs and storm eventsintake-files/: attachments to reported claimsblobs/: claim files, photos and shared documentsaudit.jsonl: historyoffice/: the back office –office.json(people, vendors, billing, pay runs) andfiles/(encrypted documents)
The nightly off-site backup (below) copies that folder, and Render takes daily disk snapshots (kept 7 days). Keep OFFICE_DATA_KEY somewhere safe – back office documents and bank details in a backup can only be read with it. Every assignment, reassignment, report, portal sign-in, download, message and authority decision is in History.
