    - [Rancher installed on an RKE Kubernetes cluster](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/backup-restore-and-disaster-recovery/back-up-rancher-launched-kubernetes-clusters.md)
    - [Rancher installed with Docker](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/backup-restore-and-disaster-recovery/back-up-docker-installed-rancher.md)

For information on backing up Rancher launched Kubernetes clusters, refer to [this section.](../../how-to-guides/advanced-user-guides/manage-clusters/backing-up-etcd.md)
