Backup/Restore
==============

Backing up and restoring your Librem devices can all be done with the same backups application.
It is advisable to keep a recent backup in case you lose or damage your device.
To get started, you'll need your device (of course!) and an external hard drive or a remote Nextcloud supporting WebDAV.
