<title>How to back up</title>
<p>The recommended way of backing up your files and settings is to let a
backup application manage the backup process for you. A number of
different backup applications are available, like
<app>Déjà Dup</app>.</p>
<p>The help for your chosen backup application will walk you through
setting your preferences for the backup, as well as how to restore your
data.</p>
<p>An alternative option is to <link xref="files-copy">copy your
files</link> to a safe location, such as an external hard drive, another
computer on the network, or a USB drive. Your
<link xref="backup-thinkabout">personal files</link> and settings are
usually in your Home folder, so you can copy them from there.</p>
<p>The amount of data you can back up is limited by the size of the
storage device. If you have the room on your backup device, it is best
to back up the entire Home folder with the following exceptions:</p>
<list>
<item><p>Files that are already backed up somewhere else, such as to a
CD, DVD, or other removable media.</p></item>
<item><p>Files that you can recreate easily. For example, if you are a
programmer, you don't have to back up the files that get produced when
you compile your programs. Instead, just make sure that you back up the
original source files.</p></item>
<item><p>Any files in the Trash folder. Your Trash folder can be found in
<file>~/.local/share/Trash</file>.</p></item>
