Backing up your Embassy is easy and secure. Backups are encrypted with your master password.
Backup Using LAN Shared Folder
------------------------------
.. warning:: Create frequent backups to avoid loss of data!
.. tip:: This is the recommended approach for creating backups.
Setup Device
------------
#. Follow instructions for creating a :ref:`LAN Shared Folder<cifs-setup>` on your laptop/desktop.
Select your platform for detailed instructions on how to create a LAN Shared Folder for creating backups (recommended). Otherwise, you may backup to a physical drive, attached in addition to your main Embassy SSD.
#. Go to *Embassy > Create Backup*.

#. Fill in the following fields:
* Hostname - This is the hostname of the machine that your shared folder is located on
* Path - This is the directory path to the shared folder. If you configured Samba yourself (Linux), this is the "comment" (name of the share in your samba config file) and not the path.
* Username - This is the user on the remote machine that you used to create the shared directory
* Password - This is your user (from above) password

Backup Using a Physical Drive
-----------------------------
.. tip:: You can backup to a physical drive using the recommended method above, rather than plugging the drive directly into the Embassy, which can cause problems.
.. caution:: If using the Raspberry Pi, you MUST use external power to attach a physical drive in order to prevent any data corruption due to power constraints.
#. Ensure your backup drive is properly formatted. The recommended format at this time is ``exFAT``. **Do not** use ``fat32``.
#. If your drive is self-powered, you can plug it directly into your Embassy blue USB 3.0 slot. If not, first plug the drive into a powered USB hub, then plug the hub into your Embassy. Then you may power it up.
#. Go to *Embassy > Create Backup*

After backup, you will receive a notice that the backup is complete, and you will see the latest backup date appear on the Embassy tab.
