# Backups

> **Info:**
Backups are zip files in the backups folder. Their options live in config.yml and are changed in **Editor > Settings > Backups**.

## Backups

A backup holds the holograms, animations, translations and the data folder with each player's pages and the tracked leaderboard values. With a database as [storage](storage.md) the same files are written from the database, so a backup restores on any storage type. Backups are made in the background.

## Automatic Backups

Makes a backup on its own every few hours, and removes the ones older than the kept days.

## Backup Interval

How many hours pass between automatic backups, from 1 to 720. The default is 24.

## Keep Backups

How many days backups are kept, up to 3650. The default is 30. 0 keeps every backup.

## Back Up Now

Makes a backup straight away, the same as `/pholo backup`.

## Restore

The screen lists every backup, newest first. Picking one and confirming makes a backup of the current files first, puts the backup's holograms, player states and leaderboard values in place of the current ones in the storage in use, copies its animations, translations and data files back, and loads everything again. Holograms disappear for a moment and come back on their own.
