Description

### User story

I made a backup of my server instance and copied it to a new server after restore the file /home/dayzserver/serverfiles/cfg/dayzserver.server.cfg was missing and on start the default config was copied. I couldn't find in the docs where to configure the config file to have it restored correctly.

### Game

DayZ SA

### Linux distro

RedHat 9

### Command

command: backup

### Further information

I have installed the dayzserver with dayzserver install, then configured mods and stuff and started it. After starting I changed the server Name, the Adminpassword and the number of slots and the motd. All in /home/dayzserver/serverfiles/cfg/dayzserver.server.cfg

Then after a while I made a backup of the server and copied it to a new host to test restore. And when I started it started with the default settings. Random admin password, hostname as LinuxGSM etc.

I check the documentation and for the love of my I can't find the correct way to make this config persistent on backup, so either the docs needs updates or on a backup /home/dayzserver/serverfiles/cfg/dayzserver.server.cfg has to be included.
