@snow123 When AEM is installed, it creates a crx-quickstart folder under <aem-installation-directory> where all the configurations and repository data is stored.

You can take a file system snapshot of the installation directory as backup.

There's a similar thread being discussed here: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/re-aem-data-backup/qaq-p/415657/comment-id/92131#M92131

Hi @snow123 ,

AEM data is stored under /crx-quickstart/repository/segmentstore (TARs) or /crx-quickstart/repository/datastore (Binary Data).

It all depends on your system configurations.

But, if you are asking from taking backups point of view, then please refer to below page for Adobe recommended options:
