!!! note
Running a daily database dump might be considered overkill, since ElkarBackup can be configured to backup its own database. However, making my own backup keeps the operation of this stack consistent with **other** stacks which employ MariaDB.
Also, did you ever hear about the guy who said "_I wish I had fewer backups"?

### Restoring data
Repeat after me : "**It's not a backup unless you've tested a restore**"
!!! note
I had some difficulty making restoring work well in the webUI. My attempts to "Restore to client" failed with an SSH error about "localhost" not found. I **was** able to download the backup from my web browser, so I considered it a successful restore, since I can retrieve the backed-up data either from the webUI or from the filesystem directly.

This takes you to a list of backup names and file paths. You can choose to download the entire contents of the backup from your browser as a .tar.gz, or to restore the backup to the client. If you click on the **name** of the backup, you can also drill down into the file structure, choosing to restore a single file or directory.
