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.

  • There are no other vital exim file, indexes, or other out of that folder? Thank you – Tobia Mar 16 '16 at 21:17
  • @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 ... – Sven Mar 16 '16 at 22:50
