As an example we use a Synology system.
First, stop the IP-Symcon container.
The container needs to be stopped via the container management of the used system.
Afterwards, the mounted Symcon folder needs to be opened to pack the folder.
The volume on which the folder was "mounted" can be seen in the settings of the image. According to the installation tutorial, the default is in the format "/Symcon/[MeinIPSymcon]/Data".
Finally, select all content and select "Compress" via right click.
The backup.zip is stored on the file system and can be downloaded.
