# What to backup
|
|
|
|
There are two parts you need to back up: The database and attachment files.
|
|
|
|
{{< table_of_contents >}}
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
To back up attachments and other files, it is enough to copy them [from the attachments folder]({{< ref "config.md" >}}#basepath) to some other place.
|
|
|
|
## Database
|
|
|
|
### 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 back up sqllite databases, it is enough to copy the [database file]({{< ref "config.md" >}}#path) to somwhere else.
