# Maintaining an Openappstack cluster
## Backup
Please take care to backup the following locations:
### On your provisioning machine
* Your cluster config directory where you put your `inventory.yml` and
`settings.yml` files. This is also the place where the generated secrets
are stored during installation. It's located under at `openappstack/clusters`
### On your cluster
* The local storage directories under `/var/lib/OpenAppStack/local-storage`.
This is the place all persistant volumes are stored.
Some are more important than others, if you want to hand-pick what volumes
to backup, use `kubectl get pvc --all-namespaces` to see which volumes are
used by what application. The prometheus volumes usually take the most space
for retaining metrics.
We recommend backing up the whole directory.
* The [rke](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/) directory `/var/lib/OpenAppStack/rke`
where the `rke` config and state file of your cluster is stored.
* At this moment, [recurring, automated etcd snapshots are not configured](https://open.greenhost.net/openappstack/openappstack/issues/453).
Please refer to the [rke etc snapshot
documentation](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/etcd-snapshots/) if you
like to backup [etcd](https://etcd.io/).
If you don't care about your backup disk usage too much, the easiest way is to
backup the whole `/var/lib/OpenAppStack/` directory.
