yard site:services

Read yard help services:create, yard help services:clone, or yard help services:delete before changing instances.
Separate data and restore points
A service can serve several projects. Use project isolation to separate databases, cache, and queues. Stopping a project leaves shared services running.
yard db:snapshot before-migration --site my-project
yard db:snapshots --site my-project
Restoring changes data. Stop writers and consult the environment reference first.
