# Backups and restore
Source: https://docs.infraista.com/en/data-storage/redis/backups-and-restore



Every Redis database is backed up daily, and each backup is kept for 7 days. Open the database and select
**Backups**.

## Back up now [#back-up-now]

Select **Back up now** (the database must be running). The backup appears in the list when it finishes.

With persistence off (**AOF off**), a backup holds what was in memory at that moment.

## Download a backup [#download-a-backup]

Select **Download** on a completed backup to keep a copy elsewhere.

## Restore a backup [#restore-a-backup]

1. Select **Restore** on the backup.
2. Confirm with **Replace data and restore**.

The backup replaces **all** data in this database, and the database restarts once, usually within a
minute. Clients reconnect when it's back.

<Callout type="warn">
  Restoring replaces everything currently stored with the backup's data. Data written
  since the backup is lost.
</Callout>
