## Manual configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The backup integration is by default enabled. If you've disabled or removed the [`default_config:`](/integrations/default_config/) line from your configuration the following example shows you how to enable this integration manually:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||
backup:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You need to restart Home Assistant after you add this configuration.
|
||||
When it has started up again you will find a new "Backup" entry in the main menu (**{% my backup title="Settings > System > Backups" %}**).
|
||||
|
||||
The backup files are stored in a new "backups" subdirectory in the root of your configuration directory.

## Restoring a backup
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="note">
|
||||
Backups created via the **Backup** integration are located in your a subdirectory named `backups` which are located in your [configuration directory](/docs/configuration/#editing-configurationyaml).
|
||||
The {% term "Home Assistant Container" %} installation typically mounts this directory via `docker-compose.yml` or `docker run` to a directory of your choice.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use Home Assistant Operating System or Home Assistant Supervised, [the restore functionality is already built-in](/common-tasks/os/#restoring-a-backup).
|
||||
The steps on recovering from a backup depend on the installation type and use case. Follow one of these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
1. If you use {% term "Home Assistant Operating System" %} or {% term "Home Assistant Supervised" %}:
|
||||
- Follow the steps described in [Restoring a backup](/common-tasks/os/#restoring-a-backup).
|
||||
2. If you use a {% term "Home Assistant Core" %} or {% term "Home Assistant Container" %} installation:
|
||||
- A Home Assistant backup is just a tar file of the [configuration directory](/docs/configuration/#editing-configurationyaml), plus some metadata.
|
||||
- To manually restore a backup, use the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
Backups created via the **Backup** integration are located in your `/config/backups` directory. The Home Assistant Container installation will typically mount this directory via `docker-compose.yml` or `docker run` to a directory of your choice.
|
||||
For Container and Core installations, there is currently no built-in way to restore a backup. However, a Home Assistant backup is just a tar file of the `/config` directory, plus some metadata. To manually restore a backup, you can use the following:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
tar -xOf <backup_tar_file> "./homeassistant.tar.gz" | tar --strip-components=1 -zxf - -C <restore_directory>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
tar -xOf <backup_tar_file> "./homeassistant.tar.gz" | tar --strip-components=1 -zxf - -C <restore_directory>
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. If you migrate from a {% term "Home Assistant Core" %} or {% term "Home Assistant Container" %} installation to {% term "Home Assistant Operating System" %}:
|
||||
- You can use these backup files during [onboarding](/getting-started/onboarding/) to recover your installation from backup.
