# `juju create-backup` > See also: [download-backup](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/juju/4.0/reference/juju-cli/list-of-juju-cli-commands/download-backup.md#command-juju-download-backup) ## Summary Create a backup. ## Usage ```text juju create-backup [options] [] ``` ### Options | Flag | Default | Usage | |----------------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `-B`, `--no-browser-login` | false | Do not use web browser for authentication | | `--filename` | juju-backup--.tar.gz | Download to this file | | `-m`, `--model` | | Model to operate in. Accepts [:]| | | `--no-download` | false | Do not download the archive. DEPRECATED. | ## Examples ```none juju create-backup juju create-backup --no-download ``` ## Details This command requests that Juju creates a backup of its state. You may provide a note to associate with the backup. By default, the backup archive and associated metadata are downloaded. Use `--no-download` to avoid getting a local copy of the backup downloaded at the end of the backup process. In this case it is recommended that the model config attribute `backup-dir` be set to point to a path where the backup archives should be stored long term. This could be a remotely mounted filesystem; the same path must exist on each controller if using HA. Use `--verbose` to see extra information about backup. To access remote backups stored on the controller, see `juju download-backup`.
