# 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 >}}
## PostgreSQL
To create a backup from PostgreSQL use the `pg_dump` command:
{{< highlight bash >}}
pg_dump -U <user> -h <db-host> <database> > vikunja-backup.sql
{{< /highlight >}}
You might be prompted for the password of the database user.
To restore it, simply pipe it back into the `psql` command:
{{< highlight bash >}}
psql -U <user> -h <db-host> <database> < vikunja-backup.sql
{{< /highlight >}}
For more information, please visit the [relevant PostgreSQL documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/backup-dump.html).

## SQLite
To backup sqllite databases, it is enough to copy the database elsewhere.
