### How do I back up the data on my server? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We haven't documented this properly yet, but the general advice is to: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- back up Postgres by making a database dump. See [Backing up PostgreSQL](maintenance-postgres.md#backing-up-postgresql) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- back up all `/matrix` files, except for `/matrix/postgres/data` (you already have a dump) and `/matrix/postgres/data-auto-upgrade-backup` (this directory may exist and contain your old data if you've [performed a major Postgres upgrade](maintenance-postgres.md#upgrading-postgresql)). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can later restore these by: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Restoring the `/matrix` directory and files on the new server manually |
|
|
|
|
|
- Following the instruction described on [Installing a server into which you'll import old data](installing.md#installing-a-server-into-which-youll-import-old-data) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your server's IP address has changed, you may need to [set up DNS](configuring-dns.md) again. |

|
|
When you [perform a major Postgres upgrade](maintenance-postgres.md#upgrading-postgresql), we save the the old data files in `/matrix/postgres/data-auto-upgrade-backup`, just so you could easily restore them should something have gone wrong. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
After verifying that everything still works after the Postgres upgrade, you can safely delete `/matrix/postgres/data-auto-upgrade-backup` |

### How do I debug or force SSL certificate renewal? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SSL certificates are managed automatically by the [Traefik](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/) reverse-proxy server. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're having trouble with SSL certificate renewal, check the Traefik logs (`journalctl -fu matrix-traefik`). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're [using your own webserver](configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md) instead of the integrated one (Traefik), you should investigate in another way. |
