summary: Backup your YAMS configuration.
---
Your YAMS configuration is located in your YAMS install directory.
## Create a Backup
To create a backup, run:
```bash
yams backup [destination]
```
Where the destination is the location where you want the `.tar.gz` file to be saved. For example:
```bash
yams backup ~/backups/
```
The output will be:
```bash
Stopping YAMS services...
Backing up YAMS to /home/roger...
This may take a while depending on the size of your installation.
Please wait... ⌛
Backup completed! 🎉
Starting YAMS services...
Backup completed successfully! 🎉
Backup file: /home/roger/yams-backup-2024-12-23-1734966570.tar.gz
```
## Restore a Backup
Restoring a backup is simple:
1. Extract your backup in the new location and `cd` into it:
```bash
tar -xzvf your-backup.tar.gz /your/new/location
cd /your/new/location
```
2. Edit the YAMS binary with the new information. You don't have to use `vim`; you can use your favorite text editor:
```bash
vim yams
```
3. Update `your/install/location` with your new install location:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
# Constants
readonly DC="docker compose -f your/install/location/docker-compose.yaml -f your/install/location/docker-compose.custom.yaml" # -> Change this!
readonly INSTALL_DIRECTORY="your/install/location" # -> Change this!
```
4. Move the `yams` script to `/usr/local/bin/`:
```bash
sudo cp yams /usr/local/bin/
```
5. Start YAMS:
```bash
yams start
```
And that's it! YAMS should now be up and running.
