| Backups | 2023-01-17T19:38:39-03:00 | false | 3 | Backup your YAMS configuration. |
Your YAMS configuration is located in your YAMS install directory.
Create a backup
For the purposes of this tutorial, I'll assume your YAMS install directory is /opt/yams, and that you want to create a backup on your ~ directory.
First, go to the YAMS install directory and do a ls. You should see the config folder right there:
$ cd /opt/yams/
/opt/yams$ ls
# Output
config docker-compose.yaml
To create a backup, just run:
/opt/yams/config$ tar -czvf ~/yams-backup.tar.gz config/*
tar is going to compress and create a .tar.gz file called yams-backup.tar.gz on the ~ directory.
Remember you should store your backups in a secure location!
Restore a backup
For the purposes of this tutorial, I'll assume your YAMS install directory is /opt/yams, and that the backup is located in ~/yams-backup.tar.gz.
To restore a backup, first stop YAMS:
$ yams stop
Then, go to your YAMS install directory and delete everything inside the config folder.
$ cd /opt/yams
/opt/yams$ rm -r config/*
Now, untar the backup file on your YAMS install directory.
/opt/yams$ tar -xzvf ~/yams-backup.tar.gz
If you see all the folders inside the config directory, it means it worked!
/opt/yams$ ls config
# Output
bazarr emby gluetun prowlarr qbittorrent radarr sonarr
Finally, restart YAMS
/opt/yams$ yams start
Everything should be running as expected, with your backup up and running!
