# Backup and Restore
|
|
|
|
## Database
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
Refer to the official [postgres documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/backup.html) for details about backing up and restoring a postgres database.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
The recommended way to backup and restore the Immich database is to use the `pg_dumpall` command.
|
|
|
|
```bash title='Backup'
|
|
docker exec -t immich_postgres pg_dumpall -c -U postgres | gzip > "/path/to/backup/dump.sql.gz"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash title='Restore'
|
|
gunzip < /path/to/backup/dump.sql.gz | docker exec -i immich_postgres psql -U postgres -d immich
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Filesystem
|
|
|
|
Immich stores two types of content in the filesystem: (1) original, unmodified content, and (2) generated content. Only the original content needs to be backed-up, which includes the following folders:
|
|
|
|
1. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/library`
|
|
1. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/upload`
|
|
1. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/profile`
