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 -p -h > 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 -p -h < vkunja-backup.sql {{< /highlight >}}

PostgreSQL

To create a backup from PostgreSQL use the pg_dump command:

{{< highlight bash >}} pg_dump -U -h > 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 -h < vikunja-backup.sql {{< /highlight >}}

For more information, please visit the relevant PostgreSQL documentation.

SQLite

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