# Backup

:::tip
Menu → System settings → Backup

:::

The **Backup** module lets you create and restore system safety copies. A backup covers, among others:

* the logical structure of the machine park (parks, lines, machines),
* the defined statuses and the rules assigned to them (configuration),
* user accounts,
* other key elements of the system configuration.

The function ensures the safety of configuration data and lets you quickly restore the system in case of a failure/data loss, migration to a new server instance or when testing new versions.

## Export - creating a backup and the backup list

In the **Export** tab:

* in the **Create backup** section you select the **backup type** (e.g. **Configuration**, **Users**) and click **Run** - the system creates a new backup,
* in the **List of backups created** section you see all backups (the **Date** and **type** columns), with sorting. For each item the available actions are:
  * **Import** - restore (recover) the system from this backup,
  * **Download** - download the backup file to disk.

## Import - restoring from a file

In the **Import** tab you can restore the system from a backup file:

* **Select configuration file** - indicate the backup file,
* **Upload** - perform the import.

Below, a **List of imports performed** is shown (when it was done, the date the backup is from, the type) - which makes it easier to audit restore operations.

For installations via the **OmniPlatform**, a predefined **"Demo"** backup is available by default, which lets you quickly get to know the system's features without manual configuration from scratch.
