## How to Backup
This is really easy. First off you should have a backup of your
`configuration.nix` file where you have the server config (but that is already
in a git repository right?)
Next you need to backup `/var/vmail` or whatever you have specified for the
option `mailDirectory`. This is where all the mails reside. Good options are a
cron job with `rsync` or `scp`. But really anything works, as it is simply a
folder with plenty of files in it. If your backup solution does not preserve the
owner of the files don't forget to `chown` them to `virtualMail:virtualMail` if you copy
them back (or whatever you specified as `vmailUserName`, and `vmailGoupName`).
Finally you can (optionally) make a backup of `/var/dkim` (or whatever you
specified as `dkimKeyDirectory`). If you should lose those don't worry, new ones
will be created on the fly. But you will need to repeat step `B)5` and correct
all the `dkim` keys.
Checkout the [Complete Backup Guide](https://github.com/r-raymond/nixos-mailserver/wiki/A-Complete-Backup-Guide). Backups are easy with `SNM`.
