# GitLab Backup Procedures
# Backups
GitLab is a critical piece of the Stoplight Enterprise platform. Stoplight
recommends, at a minimum, daily backups of the GitLab database and filesystem to
ensure minimal data loss in the event of a failure.
Backups are a critical component to ensuring the health of the Stoplight
platform. When creating a backup and restore strategy for your on-premise
installation, be sure to include the following locations:
* The **GitLab data directory**, which includes the raw filesystem data backing each projects git repository.
* The **GitLab configuration directory**, which includes randomly-generated secrets and keys necessary for securing the GitLab runtime.
* The **GitLab PostgreSQL database**, which includes user, group, permissions, and other relational data not included in the git repositories.
* The **Pubs data directory**, which includes published hubs and their corresponding configurations.
Backing up all locations above will ensure you can properly restore a Stoplight
installation without data loss.
