Syncrify is a great tool to backup data. However, you should also consider backing up Syncrify itself.
This page talks about the step required to backup Syncrify Server.
What to backup
The most important folder in Syncrify is the $INSTALL_DIR\config folder, where $INSTALL_DIR is the
location on the disk where Syncrify is installed. If you have the contents of this folder saved on a different machine, rebuilding Syncrify Server
is very easy after a server crash.
Syncrify Server automatically backups the config folder every day. The backed up data is zipped into files that are located
in the $INSTALL_DIR\config\archive folder and are named after weekdays. For example, Sunday.zip, Monday.zip and so on. This
allows you to restore the config folder as long as the disk is still accessible.
