# 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 -c /path/to/app.ini` 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` - All config or customerize files in `custom/`.
 | 
						|
* `data` - Data directory in <GITEA_WORK_DIR>, except sessions if you are using file session. This directory includes `attachments`, `avatars`, `lfs`, `indexers`, sqlite file if you are using sqlite.
 | 
						|
* `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
 | 
						|
```
