How do I backup a ruby website with a database?

Question

I have followed an online tutorial and created a website with ruby on rails. I want to save the completed project. However, I am performing some tweaks such as installing omniauth. I want to keep a backup, though, of the completed tutorial files.

I put all the files in a backup folder. However, what about the database? I do not fully understand migrations, but what will happen to the database when I attempt to backup the project?

Can I copy all the files from the folder to another folder, and just run everything from there? Will everything be stored? Will I need to run migrations or anything to get the site backup running?

我只能代表SQLite，但是如果那是您用作数据库的内容，则可以将整个项目文件夹复制到其他位置（或重命名），然后运行它，数据库仍然存在。
