Cannot find info on what to back up?

Basic Information

Voron 2.4
spider v1.1
pi3
not printed yet and not generated any error so not included.

My question is simple and does not relate to any error or other misfortune with the printer.
I have a Voron which My dad bought second hand and he did not build it or configured it. I had to partially take it apart for transport, and I have built it back up again with the help of the voron design build instructions. Everything is working how it should.
But because I did also not configure anything, I do not have any original files so I wanted to make a backup of the most important things, since this is my first klipper machine I wanted to check with you guys where I can find info on that?
I looked in what seemed all the logical categories, but to no avail.
Is it purely only the printer.cfg or are there other vital parts to be backed up?
I do not want to just jump in and risk losing the plot, it is a daunting system and I will need to ease myself into it. Since I did not build this thing either, this is extra hard.
As soon as I figured out more on how this thing really works I will share the klippy logs of course. But for now I haven’t even got to that yet.
Thanks for understanding.

If you have access to the printer via Mainsail or Fluidd you can go to the machine tab where you should see a list of config files.
Just hit the select all check box and then click onto the download button.
This will create and download a Zip archive with all the selected files.
Maybe if too many files for one page you should increase the number that can be displayed.
Otherwise you can download each file separately via right click → download.
Main file is printer.cfg, moonraker.conf, mainsail/fluidd.cfg but there might be additional config files.

You can also SSH into the SBC and backup the files there but with access to the printer GUI it is much easier! And you can even drag&drop those if needed.

Thank you, much appreciated. I will feel much more confident knowing I have back up files.
As soon as I have a first print that looks half decent I will be back here talking about it :joy:
