# Backup and restore

The underlying Aerospike database which holds your graph data supports all the same [backup and restore](https://aerospike.com/docs/database/tools/backup-and-restore/asbackup) tools as other Aerospike databases. A backup and recovery plan should be part of every database deployment. See the [backup documentation](https://aerospike.com/docs/database/tools/backup-and-restore/asbackup) for more information.
