Backups

Phase 1 preview — pages render fixture data only; no changes are saved.

Backups (8)

Newest first. Legacy lists only the file name, date and size: it has no status or checksum, and a file's type is read from its name.

Note. The backups are larger than the size limit, so the next clean-up removes the oldest ones.

Environment file in archives
No

An archive holds:

• A database dump

• Uploaded images and files (public uploads)

• Private uploads (attachments, signatures, EULA PDFs)

• The OAuth key files

Restoring a backup

Legacy takes a backup of the current data first and stops if that fails, wipes the database, loads the archive, then signs everyone out. It only understands its own archive format and database engine, so a rebuilt system needs its own, tested restore procedure rather than a port of this one.
