There are 2 options for backing up your Embassy and all its service data. You can setup a shared folder on a remote machine, such as a laptop, desktop, or external drive on your network, or you can backup to a local drive, which must be externally powered or plugged into a powered USB hub before plugging into Embassy.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: For remote backups, you will first need to configure the machine you want to backup to. Check our :ref:`Backup Setup<backup-setup>` guide for your OS first.

|

* Hostname - This is the hostname of the machine that your folder or drive is located on

* Path - This is the directory path to the shared folder. If you setup Samba yourself (Linux), this may be the 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
