Backup Task and Project

In CVAT you can backup tasks and projects. This can be used to backup a task or project on your PC or to transfer to another server.

Backup

To backup a task or project, open the action menu and select Backup Task or Backup Project.

As a result, you’ll get a zip archive containing data, task or project and task specification and annotations with the following structure:

    .
    ├── data
    │   └── {user uploaded data}
    ├── task.json
    └── annotations.json

    .
    ├── task_{id}
    │   ├── data
    │   │   └── {user uploaded data}
    │   ├── task.json
    │   └── annotations.json
    └── project.json

To create a task or project from a backup, go to the tasks or projects page, click the Create from backup button and select the archive you need.

As a result, you’ll get a task containing data, parameters, and annotations of the previously exported task.
