With Qubes, it's easy to back up and restore your whole system, as well as to migrate between two physical machines.
As of Qubes R2B3, these functions are integrated into the Qubes VM Manager GUI. There are also two command-line tools available which perform the same functions: [qvm-backup](/en/doc/dom0-tools/qvm-backup/) and [qvm-backup-restore](/en/doc/dom0-tools/qvm-backup-restore/).

3. Select the destination for the backup:
- If you wish to send your backup to a [USB mass storage device](/en/doc/stick-mounting/), select the device in the dropdown box next to **Device** (feature removed in R3, select appropriate **Target AppVM** and mount the stick with one click in file selection dialog).
- If you wish to send your backup to a [USB mass storage device](/doc/stick-mounting/), select the device in the dropdown box next to **Device** (feature removed in R3, select appropriate **Target AppVM** and mount the stick with one click in file selection dialog).
- If you wish to send your backup to a (currently running) AppVM, select the AppVM in the dropdown box next to **Target AppVM**.
You must also specify a directory on the device or in the AppVM, or a command to be executed in the AppVM as a destination for your backup. For example, if you wish to send your backup to the `~/backups` folder in the target AppVM, you would simply type `backups` in this field. This destination directory must already exist. If it does not exist, you must create it manually prior to backing up.

2. Select the source location of the backup to be restored:
- If your backup is located on a [USB mass storage device](/en/doc/stick-mounting/), select the device in the dropdown box next to **Device**.

- If your backup is located in a (currently running) AppVM, select the AppVM in the dropdown box next to **AppVM**.
You must also specify the directory in which the backup resides (or a command to be executed in an AppVM). If you followed the instructions in the previous section, "Creating a Backup," then your backup is most likely in the location you chose as the destination in step 3. For example, if you had chosen the `~/backups` directory of an AppVM as your destination in step 3, you would now select the same AppVM and again type `backups` into the **Backup directory** field.

The Qubes backup system has been designed with emergency disaster recovery in mind. No special Qubes-specific tools are required to access data backed up by Qubes. In the event a Qubes system is unavailable, you can access your data on any GNU/Linux system with the following procedure.
For emergency restore of backup created on Qubes R2 or newer take a look [here](/doc/BackupEmergencyRestoreV3/). For backups created on earlier Qubes version, take a look [here](/doc/BackupEmergencyRestoreV2/).

Migrating Between Two Physical Machines
