How to back up OpenVPN in IPCOP?

Is it possible to do a back up of all the OpenVPN information (such as users, certificates etc) for Disaster Recovery purposes? This is to faciliate us so that if the IPCOP goes down, after reinstallation and recovery, all OpenVPN users would still be able to connect using their old OpenVPN profiles.

You need only to backup the corresponding key and config files for the server, including the easy-rsa folder. You'll need to backup IPCOP firewall configuration, too, of course.

How do you backup those items that you have mentioned? Are they found in some folders in the IPCOP?

I was thinking of using Winscp to copy the necessary folders for backup.
The related OpenVPN directories are
openvpn\config
openvpn\keys
openvpn\easy-rsa

About IPCOP I do not know anything.

I have a vendor who has been working on IPCOP and he should have the answers to this.

Besides, I will creating VMs of my IPCOPs and it would be great if I can import the VPN and Openvpn files and details over to the VMs.

I will post it here for reference when they are done.
