# Export | ||
|
||
## Can I backup my data in a local drive outside Ente? | ||
|
||
Yes! You can use our CLI tool or our desktop app to set up exports of your data | ||
in a local drive or NAS of your choice. This way, you can use Ente in your day | ||
to day use, but will have an additional guarantee that a copy of your original | ||
photos and videos are always available in normal directories and files. | ||
|
||
* You can use [Ente's CLI](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main/cli#export) | ||
to export your data in a cron job to a location of your choice. The exports | ||
are incremental, and will also gracefully handle interruptions. | ||
|
||
* Similarly, you can use Ente's [desktop app](https://ente.io/download/desktop) | ||
to export your data to a folder of your choice. The desktop app also supports | ||
"continuous" exports, where it will automatically export new items in the | ||
background without you needing to run any other cron jobs. See | ||
[migration/export](/photos/migration/export/) for more details. |
