# Volumes

Learn how to manage volumes on your servers.

Volumes preserve files between deployments. Open a server’s **Volumes** tab from the [servers overview](https://sliplane.io/app/servers) to manage them.

## Adding Volumes

Click **Add Volumes** and enter a name. You can attach the volume to one or more services on the same server.

## Editing Volumes

Select the volume, open its three-dot menu, and choose **Edit** to rename it.

## Deleting Volumes

Detach all services from the volume, then select **Delete** in its three-dot menu. Deletion permanently removes the volume's data.

## Volume Backups

Volumes are backed up daily by default, with 7-day retention.

> **warn**
>
> Volume backups may not be consistent for actively written databases. Use a database-specific backup procedure when needed, and test restores.

### Restoring a Backup

Click **Restore** next to a backup and check its status while it runs. Restoration creates a new volume; detach the old volume from your service and attach the restored one.

### Creating a Backup manually

Select **Create Backup** in the volume’s three-dot menu. You can create one manual backup per volume every 30 minutes.
