## A word on backing up your Forgejo
Eventually you'll want to backup your Forgejo for various reasons. Firstly just
because it's a good idea to back up pretty much anything. But additionally
eventually your little $5 per month VPS might be too small for all the repos you
could be potentially adding to this.
In order to backup your forgejo, you'll want to use `scp`. Make sure you know
the path to your forgejo (just the path of where you initialized the docker
container) and of course you'll need to know the username and password that can
SSH into your VPS. On your home device, just invoke:
```sh
scp myusername@<my_vps_ip_address>:/path/to/forgejo path/on/myhostmachine
```
And this will copy all the files in your forgejo to your home machine for you to
have as a backup.
