{% data reusables.actions.enterprise-storage-ha-backups %}
If you use {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise_backup_utilities %} to back up {% data variables.product.product_location %}, it's important to note that {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} data stored on your external storage provider is not included in the backup.
This is an overview of the steps required to restore {% data variables.product.product_location %} with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} to a new appliance:
1. Confirm that the original appliance is offline.
1. Manually configure network settings on the replacement {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} appliance. Network settings are excluded from the backup snapshot, and are not overwritten by `ghe-restore`.
1. To configure the replacement appliance to use the same {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} external storage configuration as the original appliance, from the new appliance, set the required parameters with `ghe-config` command.
- Azure Blob Storage
```shell
ghe-config secrets.actions.storage.blob-provider "azure"
ghe-config secrets.actions.storage.azure.connection-string "_Connection_String_"
```
- Amazon S3
```shell
ghe-config secrets.actions.storage.blob-provider "s3"
ghe-config secrets.actions.storage.s3.bucket-name "_S3_Bucket_Name"
ghe-config secrets.actions.storage.s3.service-url "_S3_Service_URL_"
ghe-config secrets.actions.storage.s3.access-key-id "_S3_Access_Key_ID_"
ghe-config secrets.actions.storage.s3.access-secret "_S3_Access_Secret_"
```
- Optionally, to enable S3 force path style, enter the following command:
```shell
ghe-config secrets.actions.storage.s3.force-path-style true
```
1. Enable {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} on the replacement appliance. This will connect the replacement appliance to the same external storage for {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}.
```shell
ghe-config app.actions.enabled true
ghe-config-apply
```
1. After {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} is configured and enabled, use the `ghe-restore` command to restore the rest of the data from the backup. For more information, see "[Restoring a backup](/admin/configuration/configuring-backups-on-your-appliance#restoring-a-backup)."
1. Re-register your self-hosted runners on the replacement appliance. For more information, see [Adding self-hosted runners](/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/adding-self-hosted-runners).
For more information on backing up and restoring {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, see "[Configuring backups on your appliance](/admin/configuration/configuring-backups-on-your-appliance)."
