# Backing up the sql database from the vaultwarden docker container
## Configuration
Please create a configuration file which defines the following variables. 
```
#Where to put the dumps
backupFilepath="/var/vaultwarden/backup/"
#How many dumps shall be kept
rotationDays=7
#Database settings
dockerContainerName=docker_vaultwarden 
#Location of the vaultwarden data folder
dataFilePath="/var/data/vaultwarden/"
```

Pass this configuration file as parameter to the script. To automate the backup job, I recommend to put the script in your crontab: 
``` 
50 2 * * * root /root/scripts/backup/vaultwardenBackup/backup_vaultwarden /root/scripts/backup/vaultwardenBackup/vaultwardenBackup.conf
```
