   ./repo-tools backup --database-uri postgresql://postgres:<POSTGRES_PASSWORD>@localhost:5432/postgres --keycloak-database-uri postgresql://keycloak:keycloak@localhost:5432/keycloak --blob-dir /opt/anaconda/repo/state/internal/blobs/ > repo.backup.zip
   
3. Save the repo.backup.zip file to a secure location.
4. Save the REPO_TOKEN_CLIENT_SECRET and REPO_KEYCLOAK_SYNC_CLIENT_SECRET values from the .env file in the installer directory.
