 title: Backing up Rancher Installed on a K3s Kubernetes Cluster
 weight: 1
----
\ No newline at end of file
+---
+
+When Rancher is installed on a high-availability Kubernetes cluster, we recommend using an external database to store the cluster data.
+
+The database administrator will need to back up the external database, or restore it from a snapshot or dump.
+
+We recommend configuring the database to take recurring snapshots.
+
+### Creating Snapshots and Restoring Databases from Snapshots
+
+For details on taking database snapshots and restoring your database from them, refer to the official database documentation:

+- [Official PostgreSQL documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/backup-dump.html)
