## Continuous Backup

Continuous backup mode allows the MicroStream engine to clone all storage actions to a second storage. This storage should be placed on another file system.&#x20;

to configure and enable the continuous backup see [Backup](https://manual.docs.microstream.one/2.1/data-store/configuration/backup).

## Data Export

MicroStream provides the possibility to import and export data, see [Import / Export](https://manual.docs.microstream.one/2.1/data-store/import-export).
