Did backup of Bitcoin Core backup the blockchain too?

I backedup my StartOs services. It went pretty fast! Does that mean it did not backup the blockchain? Is there a good way to do that rather than re-downloading the whole blockchain again? Thanks in advance.

Correct. The StartOS builtin back up does not back up the block chain.

For advanced users, there is a guide in the Start9 docs for blockchain copy. You could use this to copy the block chain to an external drive location for later recovery if needed.
