# link🗂 Locations

Locations can be seen as the input to the backup process. Generally this is simply a folder. The paths can be relative from the config file. A location can have multiple backends, so that the data is secured across multiple servers.

    .autorestic.yml1locations:
    2  my-location-name:
    3    from: path/to/backup
    4    to:
    5      - name-of-backend
    6      - also-backup-to-this-backend

## link `from`

This is the source of the location.

#### linkHow are paths resolved?

Paths can be absolute or relative. If relative they are resolved relative to the location of the config file. Tilde `~` paths are also supported for home folder resolution.

## link `to`

This is einther a single backend or an array of backends. The backends have to be configured in the same config file.
