Webmin Backup Configuration Files module
Most Webmin modules work by editing configuration files on your system, like /etc/exports for NFS shares, /etc/passwd for users and /etc/fstab for filesystems.
Each module knows which configuration files it manages, and what commands need to be run to activate them.
Not all modules actually deal with config files though - for example, the MySQL module works by executing SQL commands.
The Backup Configuration Files module
To perform an immediate config backup, follow these steps :
Click on the Backup now tab.
In the Modules to backup list, select the modules you want to backup config files for, such as Users and Groups. Multiple modules can be selected by ctrl-clicking.
In the Backup destination field, select Local file and enter a path to write the backup to. This should be given a tar.gz extension, as that is the file format used.
Click the Backup Now button.
