Where Does Webmin Store Config?
Webmin keeps server config, module settings and access control in /etc/webmin on Linux. Tree layout and backup routine.
Last updated
Webmin centers on a config tree holding its web server settings, users, certificates and per module configs. Managed daemons keep their native files elsewhere.
That split decides every backup. The webmin tree restores the panel while service configs restore the systems it manages. Copy the tree with the service stopped for consistent snapshots.
Where Webmin stores this, by platform
/etc/webmin/
Web server settings, users, certificates and per module configs below one root. Stop Webmin before copying. Managed services keep native configs outside this tree.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Webmin?
Copy the whole webmin tree with Webmin stopped, especially miniserv config plus module configs and ACL files. Settings, users and certificates travel together. Restore to a matching Webmin version before starting the service.
Where are module settings?
In module config files inside the webmin tree, one per managed service. Each file holds paths and options for its daemon. The managed services keep their own configs separately, so back those up too.
