### Storing backups outside of Home Assistant
|
||||
|
||||
Storing backups outside of Home Assistant makes sure they don't use space on Home Assistant to begin with. It also makes sure you can [restore Home Assistant from backup](/common-tasks/os/#restoring-a-backup) in case you have an issue with your current installation.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to {% my backup title="**Settings** > **System** > **Backups**" %}, and from the list of backups, select the backup you want to keep.
|
||||
2. In the dialog, select the checkbox for each component, in the three-dots menu, select **Download backup**.
|
||||
3. Store the backup somewhere safe.
|
||||
- For example, [add network storage](/common-tasks/os/#network-storage), and then [change your default backup location](/common-tasks/os/#change-default-backup-location).
