# How do I take a snapshot?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-do-i-take-a-snapshot

A snapshot saves your server as it is right now. Take one before a risky update or settings change, and go back if something breaks.

## Taking one and going back

1. Open your server in the panel and go to the **Snapshots** tool.
2. Press **Take snapshot** and type a name.
3. To go back, press **Revert** next to that snapshot in the list and confirm.

When you revert, your server restarts in the saved state. Any data created after that point is gone.

## Good to know

- Each server has 10 snapshot slots.
- A snapshot isn't a backup. For longer-term protection there are the [daily backups](https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-daily-backups-work).
