It is not recommended to directly backup the `DB_DATA_LOCATION` folder. Doing so while the database is running can lead to a corrupted backup that cannot be restored.

### Automatic Database Backups
### Automatic Database Dumps
For convenience, Immich will automatically create database backups by default. The backups are stored in `UPLOAD_LOCATION/backups`.
As mentioned above, you should make your own backup of these together with the asset folders as noted below.
You can adjust the schedule and amount of kept backups in the [admin settings](http://my.immich.app/admin/system-settings?isOpen=backup).
By default, Immich will keep the last 14 backups and create a new backup every day at 2:00 AM.
:::warning
The automatic database dumps can be used to restore the database in the event of damage to the Postgres database files.
There is no monitoring for these dumps and you will not be notified if they are unsuccessful.
:::
#### Trigger Backup
:::caution
The database dumps do **NOT** contain any pictures or videos, only metadata. They are only usable with a copy of the other files in `UPLOAD_LOCATION` as outlined below.
:::
You are able to trigger a backup in the [admin job status page](http://my.immich.app/admin/jobs-status).
Visit the page, open the "Create job" modal from the top right, select "Backup Database" and click "Confirm".
A job will run and trigger a backup, you can verify this worked correctly by checking the logs or the backup folder.
This backup will count towards the last X backups that will be kept based on your settings.
For disaster-recovery purposes, Immich will automatically create database dumps. The dumps are stored in `UPLOAD_LOCATION/backups`.
Please be sure to make your own, independent backup of the database together with the asset folders as noted below.

#### Restoring
We hope to make restoring simpler in future versions, for now you can find the backups in the `UPLOAD_LOCATION/backups` folder on your host.
