I'd like to back up my vaultwarden passwords every night to two
machines (one on-site, one offsite) using syncthing. I do not run in
docker, so I cant just save the entire instance. I run through
Yunohost. Which files/folders should I be backing up? Just the
/home/yunohost.app/vaultwarden folder, or also data in /var/www?

Simply run a backup of the sqlite database, the file is probably
called `db.sqlite3` and if you want to do it the proper way, one
example:

`sqlite3 db.sqlite3 ".timeout 1000" ".backup db.sqlite3.backup"

Then store the `db.sqlite3.backup` wherever you want.

That's great! How would I recover that if I had a fresh isntall down
the road or something?

I would simply install Vaultwarden fresh and start it once, then shut
it down, replace the db file and start it again?

So question for this. The command bellow do you type it irectly in the
ssh of say your nas or the cli of the docker  image in say potainer?
I had an issue with my vaultwarden database which is in docker how to
make a backup.
