# Backup and Restore the Connector’s State

After configuring a connector, and while the connector is running, you can create a backup of the connector’s state. In the event of a failure, you can restore the connector’s state from the backup.

To create a backup, use the `backupServer` action. The `backupServer` action saves a ZIP file to a path that you specify. The backup includes:

- a copy of the `actions` folder, which stores information about actions that have been queued, are running, and have finished.
- a copy of the configuration file.
- a copy of the connector’s datastore files, which contain information about the files, records, or other data that the connector has retrieved from a repository.
