# Can I backup my files?

## Question:

Can I backup my nTop files?

## Applies to:

nTop

## Answer:

Yes, you can set your files in nTop to Autosave.

To do this go to:

File > Settings > Data

* Select the checkmark for Autosave
* Set the time interval
* Choose an Autosave location

You can open your backups directly from the folder or nTop will prompt you to choose between the backed-up version and the saved version when you encounter a crash or close the file without saving your changes.
