# Backup Policy

There are 3 native ways to make backups on OpenBSD:

# [dump](openbsd/dump)/[[restore](/openbsd/restore)
# [dump](openbsd/dump)/[[restore](/openbsd/restore)

# [openrsync](/openbsd/openrsync)

# [tar](openbsd/tar) followed by file transfer over [scp](/openbsd/scp)/[[sftp](/openbsd/sftp)
# [tar](openbsd/tar) followed by file transfer over [scp](/openbsd/scp)/[[sftp](/openbsd/sftp)

You should make a habit of backing up daily if possible, once a week at a minimum.
