+# 🎛 Config File
+
+## Path
+
+By default autorestic searches for a `.autorestic.yml` file in the current directory and your home folder.
+
+- `./.autorestic.yml`
+- `~/.autorestic.yml`
+
+You can also specify a custom file with the `-c path/to/some/config.yml`
+
+> **⚠️ WARNING ⚠️**
+>
+> Note that the data is automatically encrypted on the server. The key will be generated and added to your config file. Every backend will have a separate key. **You should keep a copy of the keys or config file somewhere in case your server dies**. Otherwise DATA IS LOST!
+
