<p>It is advisable to keep a current backup of your Persistent Storage. To learn how to create a backup of your Persistent Storage, see our [[instructions on how to back up your Persistent Storage to another Tails USB stick|backup]].</p>
Install Tails on a new USB stick on which you want to rescue your Persistent Storage. Make sure that this new USB stick is at least as large as the USB stick that has your broken Tails on it.
The process described below overrides the configuration of the Persistent Storage. So, it does not matter which features you turn on after creating the Persistent Storage.
Restart on your new Tails, set up an [[administration password|doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password]], and unlock the Persistent Storage.
<p>Make sure that all applications are closed before continuing with these instructions. Otherwise, the Persistent Storage might not be properly rescued from your broken Tails.</p>
You can now eject the <span class="guilabel">TailsData</span> volume in the <span class="application">Files</span> browser and unplug the USB stick that has your broken Tails on it.
