# Saving and loading paths

Another thing worth mentioning is saving your paths. Why would you do this? If you want to use your path later or just back it up, you can do so.

Create your path and in the console execute `dolly_path_save <name>`, where `name` is the pathname (you need to know the name to load it later). For example: `dolly_path_save mypath`.

This command saves each snapshot to the **Win64** folder as a file; the file name being the name you set, and without an extension.

{% hint style="info" %}
Although the file does not have an extension, you can open it up with any text editor (preferably with json support, such as Visual Studio Code, as these files are json files).
{% endhint %}

Later on, you can load this path similarly with `dolly_load_path <name>`.
