# How can I backup my data in elorus?

## Elorus enables you to export your entries, per type of record, for backup purposes.

You can create full backups for each of your record types from a dedicated tab on the "**Application settings**". These are the categories of records you may download to your computer:

- Sales (Invoices, Credit notes, Estimates)
- Purchases (Bills, Supplier credits)
- Payments (Received, Sent, Incoming/Outgoing checks)
- Time tracking (Projects, Tasks, Time entries)
- Settings (Taxes, Document types, Numbering sequences)
- General (Contacts, Products/Services)

Let's say, that, you wish to download a full record of your inventory.

From the "**Settings-> Application Settings**" menu you select "**Backup**" . This will take you to the "list of records" table. You can locate the "Products/Services" option under the"General" category. ![exportBackup](https://cdn.document360.io/9493d4a2-f3a8-4344-ad47-a4f5aeb61ce6/Images/Documentation/exportBackup.png)

By clicking "Backup products/services" a csv file containing a full record of your inventory items will be downloaded on your device.
