What files do you need to recover your pool completely?

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool

Just wondering what I need to have backup just incase hardware/software failures/etc

I already have all my cold keys encrypted with gpg

2

And ur payment files in order to access ur wallet

3

So if I have my cold keys, + payment keys = I can recover my server from scratch?

4

Yes, it should work… but I downloaded all wallet and pool files (like cert, etc) just in case… if not u will need again to create the certificate, etc

5

if you can i would also back up the db so you don’t have to sync again for hours if you need to rebuild

6

This is great advice!

7

where does the databases backup to? the db/ folder?

8

That would be correct
