# What to backup
Vikunja does not store any data outside of the database.
So, all you need to backup are the contents of that database and maybe the config file.
## MySQL
To create a backup from mysql use the `mysqldump` command:
{{< highlight bash >}}
mysqldump -u <user> -p -h <db-host> <database> > vkunja-backup.sql
{{< /highlight >}}
You will be prompted for the password of the mysql user.
To restore it, simply pipe it back into the `mysql` command:
{{< highlight bash >}}
mysql -u <user> -p -h <db-host> <database> < vkunja-backup.sql
{{< /highlight >}}
## SQLite
To backup sqllite databases, it is enough to copy the database elsewhere.
