1. Check if your configuration directory contains a large database file:
|
||||
- Go to {% my system_health title="**Settings** > **System** > **Repairs**" %}.
|

- From the three dot menu, select **System information** and under the **Recorder** section, look for the **Estimated Database Size (MiB)**.

3. If you want to store the backup on your network storage instead of just locally on your system, follow the steps on [adding a new network storage](/common-tasks/os/#add-a-new-network-storage) and select the **Backup** option.
