# Datbase backups
When upgrading to new major version of Unleash it is advised to do a 
full database backup to ease rollback in case of failures. 

1. Create a database backup:

```
pg_dump --clean -U unleash_user -W -h localhost unleash > unleash-db.dump

```

2. Restore from a backup:

```
psql -U unleash_user -W -h localhost unleash < unleash-db.dump
```
