Should I do a “Full DB Backup” or a “Sanitized DB Backup”, what is the difference?A full backup is a full copy of your production database including customers and orders.
A sanitised backup omits all customer/sales information so that instances can be fully protected from risk in a real-world environment.
Within MDOQ you can do both. You can even specify "Use sanitized backups for instances" so that development instances don't contain sensitive information.Show answer...Hide answer...
