This section contains information about how to create backups of your Rancher data and how to restore them in a disaster scenario.

  - Rancher server backups:
    - [Rancher installed on a K3s Kubernetes cluster](./k3s-backups)
    - [Rancher installed on an RKE Kubernetes cluster](./rke-backups)
    - [Rancher installed with Docker](./docker-backups)

For information on backing up Rancher launched Kubernetes clusters, refer to [this section.]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.0-v2.4/en/cluster-admin/backing-up-etcd/)

If you are looking to back up your [Rancher launched Kubernetes cluster]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.0-v2.4/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/), please refer [here]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.0-v2.4/en/cluster-admin/backing-up-etcd/).
