documentation for backup and restore of Vault

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** A very common task for any sysadmin is to automatically backup data of all applications. Same thing applies to Vault obviously (and since it's a secret management application, it's one of the critical assets). Unfortunately the only documentation for Vault's maintenance I was able to find was https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/install/index.html - installlation guide. Backup and restore docs are IMO essential part of documentation. **Describe the solution you'd like** Ideally, I'd like to see an *Administration* (or *Maintenance*) section on https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/install/index.html which would include a manual how to (a) install (b) back up (c) restore data from backup. It should also mention which files/directories and other data should be preserved to be able to succesfully re-install Vault while preserving the data. For example of such documentation, see https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/README.html or https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Managing+Backups **Describe alternatives you've considered** I've read through the docs, searched and decided to use mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/vault-tool/GDhj-KVqtHk/87iY0QwbDAAJ It did the trick - I was answered with very helpful answers - which I believe belong to actual product documentation. **Explain any additional use-cases** I hope this issue is self-explanatory.
