# Checklists to Prepare

![Checklist](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/uXbZOKjJTGpPhjapQ8fvM-xkwzTcy3Z28kGEL66B7oA-20240815-224213.jpg)

When preparing your facility for a new piece of hardware, follow these checklists to ensure you are prepared.

## 1️⃣ Project Backup

When **swapping older printers** for a new one, it is a good idea to backup your projects.

:::hint{type="warning"}
**Carbon does not store or archive projects.&#x20;**&#x54;his information is stored on the printer’s onboard server, and cannot be recovered if the server is replaced, reset, or otherwise compromised.

To prevent data loss, we recommend backing up critical projects at least **once a month&#x20;**&#x61;nd whe&#x6E;**&#x20;swapping printers.&#x20;**&#x44;epending on your usage and requirements, more frequent backups may be necessary.
:::

::::VerticalSplit{layout="right"}
:::VerticalSplitItem
Reference monthly maintenance for your printer for backup instructions. *The process is the same for all printers.*
