# Backup and Restore
Gitea currently has a `dump` command that will save the installation to a zip file. This
file can be unpacked and used to restore an instance.
## Backup Command (`dump`)
Switch to the user running gitea: `su git`. Run `./gitea dump` in the gitea installation
directory. There should be some output similar to the following:
```
2016/12/27 22:32:09 Creating tmp work dir: /tmp/gitea-dump-417443001
2016/12/27 22:32:09 Dumping local repositories.../home/git/gitea-repositories
2016/12/27 22:32:22 Dumping database...
2016/12/27 22:32:22 Packing dump files...
2016/12/27 22:32:34 Removing tmp work dir: /tmp/gitea-dump-417443001
2016/12/27 22:32:34 Finish dumping in file gitea-dump-1482906742.zip
```
Inside the `gitea-dump-1482906742.zip` file, will be the following:
* `custom/conf/app.ini` - Server config.
* `gitea-db.sql` - SQL dump of database
* `gitea-repo.zip` - Complete copy of the repository directory.
* `log/` - Various logs. They are not needed for a recovery or migration.
Intermediate backup files are created in a temporary directory specified either with the
`--tempdir` command-line parameter or the `TMPDIR` environment variable.
## Restore Command (`restore`)
There is currently no support for a recovery command. It is a manual process that mostly
involves moving files to their correct locations and restoring a database dump.
Example:
```
apt-get install gitea
unzip gitea-dump-1482906742.zip
cd gitea-dump-1482906742
mv custom/conf/app.ini /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini
unzip gitea-repo.zip
mv gitea-repo/* /var/lib/gitea/repositories/
chown -R gitea:gitea /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini /var/lib/gitea/repositories/
mysql -u$USER -p$PASS $DATABASE <gitea-db.sql
# or sqlite3 $DATABASE_PATH <gitea-db.sql
service gitea restart
```
