Here is how to do it for the EteSync server, but the procedure depends on your storage backend
# Database
## SQLite3 (with the default name given by EteSync)
`sqlite3 /path/to/etesync/db.sq3 ".backup '/path/to/backups/backup_db.sq3'`

# secret.txt
it's not required to back this one up to backup your data, but having a backup of this file will make it easier to restore the database to a new EteSync server. This secret is essentially only used for hashing the login password. So it's not essential, but probably good to back up.
`cp /path/to/etesync/secret.txt /path/to/backups/`
