# Backup LAVA
In order to backup LAVA you will have to backup both the database and specific
directories.
## Database
### For a native Debian install
The database is managed by
[PostgreSQL](../../../technical-references/services/postgresql.md). See the
[PostgreSQL documentation][pgsql-backup] for
details.
To backup the database run:
```shell
sudo -u lavaserver pg_dump lavaserver > lava-server.sql
```
### For the docker-compose solution
If you run your LAVA instance with [docker-compose](https://gitlab.com/lava/pkg/docker-compose),
you can backup the database like this:
```shell
docker exec --user postgres docker-compose_db_1 bash -c \
"pg_dump --username=lavaserver lavaserver > /tmp/lavaserver.sql"
```
On the host, you can then retrieve the backup file.
Example:
```shell
docker cp docker-compose_db_1:/tmp/lavaserver.sql .
```
## Filesystem
The configuration files are stored in:
* `/etc/lava-coordinator/`
* `/etc/lava-dispatcher/`
* `/etc/lava-server/`
The data (job outputs, ...) are stored in `/var/lib/lava-server/default/media`.
To backup the filesystem run:
```shell
tar czf lava-server-etc.tar.gz /etc/lava-coordinator/ \
/etc/lava-dispatcher/ \
/etc/lava-server/
tar czf lava-server-data.tar.gz /var/lib/lava-server/default/media/
```
