# Database Backup

The “Backups” menu enables you to create a backup of the configuration. This will allow you to later restore data or to install the same configuration on another unit.\
After carrying out system modifications, it is STRONGLY recommended that you back up the MYSQL database used by Toolpack.\
Below are the steps to do so:
