- There are three types of variable data files to backup:
- 
-  * Database files
- 
-  * Configuration files
- 
-  * Log files

- Actually, you can copy a live database file from the OS at anytime without problem. Doesn't matter if its being updated, or even if its being compacted, the CouchDB never-overwrite storage format ensures it should just work without issue.
- }}}
- For all platforms, locate your database, configuration, and log files and perform a filesystem copy. Be careful to preserve file permissions, too. Archive these files to wherever you want-- ideally on a different machine in a different physical location -- with appropriate security limiting access.
- 
- For example, here are the directories to backup for a [[http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/InstallingOnUbuntu|CouchDB install on Ubuntu]]:
- 
-  * Configuration: /etc/couchdb/
- 
-  * Database files: /var/lib/couchdb/
- 
-  * Logs: /var/log/couchdb/
- 
- And to backup for a [[Installing_on_Windows|CouchDB install on Windows]] where ''%couch%'' is where you've installed or unpacked CouchDB:
- 
-  * Configuration: %couch%\etc\couchdb\
- 
-  * Database files: %couch%\var\lib\couchdb\
- 
-  * Logs: %couch%\var\log\couchdb\
- 
- '''Note:''' Before CouchDB 1.0 intermediate releases can have incompatible database file formats. For details on migrating those, see BreakingChanges.
