+### Backup
+
+You can use the provided script `helper-scripts/backup_and_restore.sh` to backup mailcow automatically.
+
+Please do not copy this script to another location.
+
+To run a backup, write "backup" as first parameter and either one or more components to backup as following parameters.
+You can also use "all" as second parameter to backup all components.
+
+```
+# Syntax:
+# ./helper-scripts/backup_and_restore.sh backup (vmail|redis|rspamd|postfix|mysql|all)
+
+# Backup all
+./helper-scripts/backup_and_restore.sh backup all
+
+# Backup vmail and mysql data
+./helper-scripts/backup_and_restore.sh vmail mysql
+
+```
+
+The script will ask you for a backup location. Inside of this location it will create folders in the format "mailcow_DATE".
+You should not rename those folders to not break the restore process.
+
+To run a backup unattended, define BACKUP_LOCATION as environment variable before starting the script:
+
+```
+BACKUP_LOCATION=/opt/backup /opt/mailcow-dockerized/helper-scripts/backup_and_restore.sh backup all
+```
