This will result in a non-compressed backup named `backups/TIMESTAMP_db.sqlite3` being uploaded every 5 minutes. `TIMESTAMP` will be in the form `YYYYMMDDHHMMSS`, UTC timezone.


## Restoring from SQLite
rqlite supports loading a node directly from SQLite data. This can be useful if you wish to initialize your system from preexisting SQLite data, or to restore from an existing [node backup](/docs/guides/backup/).

### Booting with a SQLite Database
_Booting_ is a specialized process that enables rapid initialization of a node from a SQLite database image. This method is designed for **high-efficiency data loading, particularly suited for disaster recovery or initializing a large database quickly** though you can use it with any size of database. The only limiting factor is how fast your disks are, and loading multi-GB SQLite files is possible via _Booting_.

There is an important limitation however -- _Booting_ is designed **exclusively for single-node setups**. After a successful _boot_ however, the node is ready for normal operation and can be scaled to a multi-node cluster as needed. Just [join new nodes](/docs/clustering/) to the booted node.

>Unlike the other restore processes described below, _Booting_ bypasses most of the [Raft consensus system](https://raft.github.io/), significantly reducing the load time.
