Can I back up a DataSource

I am setting up all my reports to use a shared data source which will have
its "Credentials stored securely in the report server". The datasource uses a
windows account which has the "Use as Windows credentials when connecting to
the data source" option set. The account used will have exec rights on the
appropriate stored procedures to return the data.
My question is: is there any way that I can back up this data source so that
I can restore it in the case of a server rebuild or would I have to manually
re-create it?Report Server stores everything (including the rdl for the reports) in the
database. If you backup the SQL database ReportServer you should be in good
shape.
