## Introduction
|
|
This document provides instructions and best practices for Docker Enterprise backup procedures for all components of the platform.
|
|
|
|
> **Important**: Make sure you perform regular backups for Docker Enterprise, including prior to an upgrade or uninstallation.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Before performing a backup or restore operation for any component of Docker Enterprise, you must have healthy managers. Otherwise, disaster recovery procedures are involved.
|
|
- Have adequate space available for backup contents.
|
|
|
|
## Procedure
|
|
To back up Docker Enterprise, you must create individual backups
|
|
for each of the following components:
|
|
|
|
1. [Back up Docker Swarm](back-up-swarm). Back up Swarm resources like service and network definitions.
|
|
2. [Back up Universal Control Plane (UCP)](back-up-ucp). Back up UCP configurations.
|
|
3. [Back up Docker Trusted Registry (DTR)](back-up-dtr). Back up DTR configurations, images, and metadata.
|
|
|
|
If you do not create backups for all components, you cannot restore your deployment to its previous state.
|
|
|
|
Test each backup you create. One way to test your backups is to do
|
|
a fresh installation on a separate infrastructure with the backup. Refer to [Restore Docker Enterprise](/ee/admin/restore/) for additional information.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Application data backup is **not** included in this information. Persistent storage data backup is the responsibility of the storage provider for the storage plugin or driver.
