+# Transfer Zoraxy / perform Backup / Restore
+
+If you want to move Zoraxy to a new server, or just want to do a backup, this can be easily done.
+
+1. Go to root folder of Zoraxy (/zoraxy for example)
+
+2. Create a backup file with:
+
+   `sudo tar -czf zoraxy-backup.tar.gz ./src/`
+
+3. Move your zoraxy-backup.tar.gz to your new server or backup destination
+
+4. If you want to run Zoraxy on a new maschine, install it on the new maschine but DO NOT start it
+
+5. Move your backup file to the new root of Zoraxy and extract it with:
+
+   `tar -xvf zoraxy-backup.tar.gz`
+
+6. Start Zoraxy as usual
+
+
+# Create a systemd-service for Zoraxy
+
+
+Create start.sh in the zoraxy folder with:
+
+`nano start.sh`
+
+Put in those lines
+
+```
+#!/bin/bash
+./zoraxy -port=:8000
+```
+
+Make it executable with
+
+`chmod +x start.sh`
+
+Create systemd-service with
+
+`sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/zoraxy.service`
+
+Put in following lines:
+
+```
+Description=Zoraxy Reverse Proxy Server
+#Waits for network to be online
+After=network-online.target
+Wants=network-online.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+
+#No sudo required in start.sh
+User=root   
+Group=root
+
+#Folder where zoraxy is
+WorkingDirectory=/zoraxy/src/    
+#absolute path for start.sh
+ExecStart=/bin/bash /zoraxy/src/start.sh     
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+Now status messages can be showed with:
+
+`sudo systemctl status zoraxy`
