_Available as of v2.2.0_
In the Rancher UI, etcd backup and recovery for [Rancher launched Kubernetes clusters]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/) can be easily performed. Snapshots of the etcd database are taken and saved either [locally onto the etcd nodes](#local-backup-target) or to a [S3 compatible target](#s3-backup-target). The advantages of configuring S3 is that if all etcd nodes are lost, your snapshot is saved remotely and can be used to restore the cluster.

Rancher recommends configuring recurrent `etcd` snapshots for all production clusters. Additonally, one-time snapshots can easily be taken as well.

#### Local Backup Target
By default, the `local` backup target is selected. The benefits of this option is that there is no external configuration. Snapshots are automatically saved locally to the etcd nodes in the [Rancher launched Kubernetes clusters]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/). All recurring snapshots are taken at configured intervals. The downside of using the `local` backup target is that if there is a total disaster and _all_ etcd nodes are lost, there is no ability to restore the cluster.
