### Backup
The files that you need to backup are located in your data directory. You must backup:
You need to backup:
- your bitcoin core wallet
- your eclair channels
For bitcoin core, you need to backup the wallet file for the wallet that eclair is using. You only need to this once, when the wallet is
created (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/managing-wallets.md for more information).
For eclair, the files that you need to backup are located in your data directory. You must backup:
* your seeds (`node_seed.dat` and `channel_seed.dat`)
* your channel database (`eclair.sqlite.bak` under directory `mainnet`, `testnet` or `regtest` depending on which chain you're running on)
