PHPRunner 11.2: How do I properly back up my projects?

In previous versions of PHPRunner, each project was stored in a single .phpr file, so creating a backup was straightforward.

In PHPRunner 11.2, projects appear to be stored in the internal PostgreSQL database (data8), and I can no longer identify a single project file.

I would like to know the official recommended procedure for backing up and restoring projects.

Specifically:

Which files and folders should be backed up?
Is backing up the data8 folder sufficient?
Should the project_xxxx.config files also be backed up?
How can I restore my projects after reinstalling Windows or moving to another computer?
What is the recommended way to back up one specific project?
Does Project → Export include all project customizations (CSS, images, custom files, etc.)?

I would appreciate an official explanation of the recommended backup and restore procedure for PHPRunner 11.x projects.

Thank you.
