 ### Backup
 
-The easiest way to create your ZeroUI data backup is to use the following commands:
-
-    docker run --rm --volumes-from zu-controller -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu tar cvf /backup/backup-controller.tar /var/lib/zerotier-one
-    docker run --rm --volumes-from zu-main -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu tar cvf /backup/backup-ui.tar /app/backend/data
+You should regularly back up the `zerotier-one` and `data` folders in your ZeroUI installation directory.
