What this means for backing up the configuration is that you simply back
up /etc/systemd/system without resolving symlinks (and ignore that those
symlinks point to paths outside of your backup). rsync can do that for
you. This has the benefit of also backing up all permanent unit
overrides and drop-ins that the admin may have made.
