# Backup Control Panel Server

To ensure complete disaster recovery for the control panel server, choose one of the following methods.

# Option 1: System Snapshot

If supported by your infrastructure provider, take a full image snapshot of the control panel server. This provides the fastest and most reliable point-in-time restore path.

# Option 2: Manual File & Database Backup

If server snapshots are unavailable, you can manually back up the important data like this:

As root, on your control panel server:

sudo -u orchd pg_dump -O -d orchd > /var/orchd/orchd.sql

sudo -u orchd pg_dump -O -d authd > /var/orchd/authd.sql

Copy the 2 resulting files to external storage.

Also copy the follolwing files to your external storage:

  • /etc/ssl
  • /var/local/enhance/rca.pw
  • /var/local/enhance/orchd
  • /var/local/enhance/orchd/cloudflare.key
  • /var/www/control-panel/ui/assets
