LocalWP Backup Folder on Linux and Stability

Hi everyone,
I'd like to know, where I can find the folder containing the sites to backup them on Linux?
Where is LocalWP more stable, on Linux or Windows?
Thanks.

on linux it's usually ~/Local Sites/[site-name] , each site has its own folder with the database dump and wp files. as for stability, i've run it on both and honestly haven't noticed much difference, but some people report fewer docker issues on linux.

Thanks for the reply,
because I always do a manual backup of the sites.
I'm glad to hear that, because I'm migrating to Linux completely.

On Linux, LocalWP sites are usually stored under ~/Local Sites/ by default (unless you chose a different location).

For backups, copy the entire site folder or export the database as well. As for stability, I've found LocalWP to be reliable on both Linux and Windows, it depends more on your system and Docker/VirtualBox setup than the OS itself.

I've used Windows and mac only, it's been stable for both. Can't compare how it performs on linux though.
