### Channel Backups
Static Channel Backup APIs of LND has been leveraged to provide channel backup feature on RTL. Static Channel Backup APIs of LND has been leveraged to provide channel backup feature on RTL.
#### Backup folder location #### Backup folder location
Default location: If no folder location is specified in the RTL conf files (single or mult-node setup), RTL will create a folder `backup` on the RTL root. If multiple nodes are being managed via RTL, multiple node sub-folders will be created in the `backup` folder.
User defined: User can specify the folder where channel backups should be created, by setting a config variable `channelBackupPath` in the `RTL.conf` or `RTL-Multi-Node-Conf.json` files. Please ensure that RTL has the permission to write in the specified folder location in the conf files.
#### Backup execution
Channel backups will be taken at the following instances:
- Server startup: RTL will automatically execute all channel backup, everytime the server is started.
- Channel open/close: RTL will automatically execute all channel backup, everytime a new channel is opened or an existing channel is closed.
- Manual backups: A user can also manually execute the backup commands. The menu options are available on the `Backup` page under `Channels`. User can take all channel backups or individual channel backups as well as verify all/individual channel backup files.
