# Backup & Restore Here's a quick walkthrough of how to backup and restore your database using Table Plus. {% embed url="" %} **Important:** Make sure you've added your SSH public key to the database server on Hatchbox. Click on the Cluster -> the database server -> SSH in the navbar and add your public key. That allows you to login to the server without a password (which is important, otherwise you can get hacked pretty easily). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
