## Scaling and backup

This part of Operations covers running the IIoT Platform under growing load: the practical strategies for scaling it to handle more devices and traffic, and the procedures that safeguard stored data through backup and restore. For the architecture behind the platform's scaling potential, see [System scalability](/en/platform/v3/architecture/scalability) in Concepts.
