2. Enter the following command. Replace `<SNAPSHOT.db>` with any name that you want to use for the snapshot (e.g. `upgrade.db`).
```shell
rke etcd snapshot-save --config rancher-cluster.yml --name snapshot-name \
--s3 --access-key S3_ACCESS_KEY --secret-key S3_SECRET_KEY \

**Result:** RKE takes a snapshot of `etcd` running on each `etcd` node. The file is saved to `/opt/rke/etcd-snapshots`. It is also uploaded to the S3 compatible backend.

After taking the `etcd` snapshots, save them to a safe location so that they're unaffected if your cluster experiences a disaster scenario. This location should be persistent.
