# Backup and Restore
Gitea currently has a `dump` command that will save your installation to a zip file. There will be a `restore` command implemented at some point in the future. You will be able to use this to back up your installation, as well as make migrating servers easier.
## Backup Command (`dump`)
First, switch to the user running gitea: `su git` (or whatever user you are using). Run `./gitea dump` in the gitea installation directory. You should see some output similar to this:
```
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, you will find the following:
* `custom/conf/app.ini` - This is your server config.
* `gitea-db.sql` - SQL dump of your database.
* `gitea-repo.zip` - This zip will be a complete copy of your repo folder.
See Config -> repository -> `ROOT` for the location.
* `log/` - this will contain various logs. You don't need these if you are doing
a 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`)
