# Backup and restore playbooks

Best practices and procedures are described in the section Backup and restore. The following playbooks are used to perform backups:

• playbooks/backup_swarm.yml is used to back up the swarm data
• playbooks/backup_ucp.yml is used to back up UCP
• playbooks/backup_dtr_meta.yml is used to back up DTR metadata
• playbooks/backup_dtr_images.yml is used to back up DTR images

The following playbooks are used to restore the system:

• playbooks/restore_dtr_images.yml is used to restore DTR images
• playbooks/restore_dtr_metadata.yml is used to restore DTR metadata
• playbooks/restore_ucp.yml is used to restore UCP

The playbooks for configuring HPE SimpliVity backup functionality are run as part of site.yml by default:
