# Backup and Restore

Plakar Control Plane can back up its own configuration and data using the
standard backup workflow. This allows you to recover from hardware failure,
accidental misconfiguration, or a full appliance replacement.

This section covers:

- [Backing up Plakar Control Plane](backup) using the UI
- [Restoring Plakar Control Plane](restore) to a new appliance
