- removing spaces at end of line - fixing spelling and grammar mistakes - making sure 'Vikunja' is spelled the same way everywhere - prefer using editors word wrap instead of hardcoding word wrap in markdown (reason: different word wrap per editor & end of line space) - add newline add end where missing - remove double colon at end of headlines - remove unnecessary indention - make sure code blocks and headlines etc always have an empty line around

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 -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 back up sqllite databases, it is enough to copy the [database file]({{< ref "config.md" >}}#path) to somewhere else.
