-## Back Up and Restore Scheduler Data
+## Managing jobs with the Dapr CLI
 
-In production environments, it's recommended to perform periodic backups of this data at an interval that aligns with your recovery point objectives.
+Dapr provides a CLI for inspecting and managing all scheduled jobs, regardless of type.
+The CLI is the recommended way to view, back up, and delete jobs.
 
-### Port Forward for Backup Operations
 
-To perform backup and restore operations, you'll need to access the embedded etcd instance. This requires port forwarding to expose the etcd ports (port 2379).
+### List jobs
 
-#### Kubernetes Example
+```bash
+dapr scheduler list
+```
 
-Here's how to port forward and connect to the etcd instance:

+## Managing reminders with the CLI
+
+Actor reminders are persisted in the Scheduler.
+You can manage them with the dapr scheduler CLI commands.
+
+#### List actor reminders
+
+```bash
+dapr scheduler list --filter actor
+NAME                                  BEGIN     COUNT  LAST TRIGGER

+```
+
+Get reminder details
+
+```bash
+dapr scheduler get actor/MyActorType/actorid1/test1 -o yaml
+```
+
+#### Delete reminders
+
+Delete a single reminder:
+
+```bash
+dapr scheduler delete actor/MyActorType/actorid1/test1
+```
+
+Delete all reminders for a given actor type:
+
+```bash
+dapr scheduler delete-all actor/MyActorType
+```
+
+Delete all reminders for a specific actor instance:
+
+```bash
+dapr scheduler delete-all actor/MyActorType/actorid1
+```
+
+#### Backup and restore reminders
+
+Export all reminders:
+
+```bash
+dapr scheduler export -o reminders-backup.bin
+```
+
+Restore from a backup file:
+
+```bash
+dapr scheduler import -f reminders-backup.bin
+```
+
+#### Summary
+
+- Reminders are stored in the Dapr Scheduler, not in the app.
+- Create reminders via the Actors API
+- Manage existing reminders (list, get, delete, backup/restore) using the `dapr scheduler` CLI.
