The contents of that folder are just normal files. Back them up using whatever backup software you'd like. Then restore them as you would any other file.

@Tobia: Naturally, you should need to backup stuff like user accounts, passwords etc. if that's applicable for your envirornment, let alone the rest of the system ...– SvenMar 16, 2016 at 22:50
