# Backups

Swarm stores all of the information it requires to operate within the Helix Core Server. This includes project definitions, code reviews, comments, followers, and more. Code reviews are largely built on top of Helix Core Server's shelving feature, and most other records are stored in custom counters called keys.

Therefore, the standard recommendations for backing up your Helix Core Server also apply when backing up your Swarm data.

For more information about backup and recovery, see Backup and recovery in Helix Core Server Administration Documentation.

In addition, your Swarm configuration and any modifications you might make to the provided modules, templates, CSS, JavaScript, etc. also need to be backed up. The `SWARM_ROOT/data` directory contains the configuration, as well as temporary working files and browser session storage.
