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 ... – Sven Mar 16 '16 at 22:50
