# Back Up Your Server

In the Backup/Restore tab in the Console page, you can create a backup of the current state of your server.

The `BackUpServer` action performs this task. For information about this action, see the IDOL Server Reference.

To back up your server

1. In the Create Backup box, type the file path of the location in which to store your backup. This can be a local path, or a network path that the server running the IDOL component has access to.
2. Click Backup to create the backup. You can view the task progress by opening the Tasks pane at the bottom of the window (see IDOL Admin Structure).

You can restore a backup of your server at a later date; see Restore Your Server for more information.
