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.
