# Backup/Restore

You can create a manual backup of your database and restore that backup to any
of your databases. Both backup and restore operations requires that your
database is in one of the AWS regions.

Additionally, you can utilize the daily backup feature to automatically create
backups of your database on a daily basis.

### Create A Manual Backup

To create a manual backup of your database:

* Go to the database details page and navigate to the `Backups` tab

note that your database will be temporarily locked, which means these operations
will be unavailable during this time:

* Create Database Backup
* Enable TLS
* Move Database to Team
* Restore Database Backup
* Update Eviction
* Update Password
* Delete Database
