+## Backup / Restore
+
+sshportal embeds built-in backup/restore methods which basically import/export JSON objects:
+
+```sh
+# Backup
+ssh admin@sshportal config backup > sshportal.bkp
+
+# Restore
+ssh admin@sshportal config restore < sshporta.bkp
+```
+
+This method is particularly useful as it should be resistant against future DB schema changes (expected during development phase).
+
+I suggest you to be careful during this development phase, and use an additional backup method, for example:
+
+```sh
+# sqlite dump
+sqlite3 sshportal.db .dump > sshportal.sql.bkp
+
+# or just the immortal cp
+cp sshportal.db sshportal.db.bkp
+```
