= Restoring {microshift-short} data backups manually
You can restore {microshift-short} data from a backup manually. Backups can be restored after updates, or after other system events that remove or damage required data. Automated backups are in the `/var/lib/microshift-backups` directory by default. You can use this directory for manually backing up and restoring data by specifying it in each command. When you restore a backup, you must use the entire file path.
[NOTE]
====
On an `rpm-ostree` system, {microshift-short} backs up and restores data automatically.
====
.Prerequisites
* Root access to the host.
* Full path of the data backup file.
* {microshift-short} is stopped.
.Procedure
. Manually restore {microshift-short} data by using the full file path of the backup you want to restore by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ sudo microshift restore /var/lib/microshift-backups/<my_manual_backup>
----
Replace `<my_manual_backup>` with the backup name that you used. Optional: You can also restore automatic `ostree` backups using the full file path.
+

----
. Optional. Manually restore data from a customized directory by using the full file path of the backup. Run the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ sudo microshift restore /<mnt>/<other_backups_location>/<another_manual_backup>
----
Replace `<other_backups_location>` with the directory you used and `<my_manual_backup>` with the backup name you used when creating the backup you are restoring.
+
.Verification
* Verify that your backup is restored by restarting {microshift-short} and checking the data.
