To backup on Linux:

tar -cvjf" ~/byteball.backup_$(date +%s).tar.bz2" ~/.config/byteball

or when your Byteball process/wallet is off, cp -varp ~/.config/byteball ~/byteball_backup_$(date +%s)

Sorry to bother again, but im still trying to find a way to backup on Linux. I cant find /byteball_backup_$(date +%s) even when wallet is off. The wallet says to copy all /.config/byteball for backup, but it is more than 400MB and i dont have time this week to learn how to make my virtual machine recognize usb to copy it all - I intended to send the backup via email to the host...

Why dont i see that backup file? What is the 12 word seed for when it looks like it cant recover your wallet?
