## About backups of {% data variables.product.product_name %} when using {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}
|
|
|
|
You can use {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise_backup_utilities %} to back up and restore the data and configuration for {% data variables.location.product_location %} to a new instance. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/configuration/configuring-your-enterprise/configuring-backups-on-your-appliance)."
|
|
|
|
However, not all the data for {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} is included in these backups. {% data reusables.actions.enterprise-storage-ha-backups %}

## Restoring a backup of {% data variables.product.product_name %} when {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} is enabled
|
|
|
|
To restore a backup of {% data variables.location.product_location %} with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, you must manually configure network settings and external storage on the destination instance before you restore your backup from {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise_backup_utilities %}.
|
|
|
|
1. Confirm that the source instance is offline.
|
|
1. Manually configure network settings on the replacement {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance. Network settings are excluded from the backup snapshot, and are not overwritten by `ghe-restore`. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/configuration/configuring-network-settings)."
|
|
1. SSH into the destination instance. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/configuration/configuring-your-enterprise/accessing-the-administrative-shell-ssh)."
|
|
|
|
```shell copy
|
|
ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Configure the destination instance to use the same external storage service for {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} as the source instance by entering one of the following commands.
|
|
{% indented_data_reference reusables.actions.configure-storage-provider-platform-commands spaces=3 %}
|
|
{% data reusables.actions.configure-storage-provider %}
|
|
1. To prepare to enable {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} on the destination instance, enter the following command.
|
|
|
|
```shell copy
|
|
ghe-config app.actions.enabled true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.actions.apply-configuration-and-enable %}
|
|
1. After {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} is configured and enabled, to restore the rest of the data from the backup, use the `ghe-restore` command. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/configuration/configuring-your-enterprise/configuring-backups-on-your-appliance#restoring-a-backup)."
|
|
1. Re-register your self-hosted runners on the destination instance. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/adding-self-hosted-runners)."
