# Backup and Restore

> Discover Ocient backup and restore methods to secure your data and facilitate disaster recovery.

Ocient® can back up and restore a single node or a multi-node system. The backup and restore procedures can replace a node in an existing Ocient cluster due to an OS drive failure or hardware upgrade.

> **Warning**
>
> Exact backup and restore procedures depend on the disk layout of your Ocient nodes. Consult Ocient Support or the system administrator who installed your Ocient cluster to determine the best backup strategy for your deployment.
