**Step Result:** A stream of commands runs on the screen.
1. Enter the `ls` command to confirm that the backup tarball was created. It will have a name similar to `rancher-data-backup-<RANCHER_VERSION>-<DATE>.tar.gz`.
1. Move your backup tarball to a safe location external to your Rancher Server. Then delete the `rancher-data-<DATE>` container from your Rancher Server.
