Backup & Restore (Local Database)

Backup & Restore
How to export a database snapshot and restore from a .db backup.
Definitions
- Export: Downloads a complete database snapshot as a
.dbfile. - Restore: Replaces the current database with a backup
.dbfile. - Automatic safety copy: Before restore, the system saves a
.bak-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSScopy of the current DB.
Export Steps
- Go to Admin Hub → Backup & Restore
- Click Download backup (.db)
- Store the file in a secure location (internal shared drive, encrypted storage, etc.)
Exports generate a consistent snapshot via SQLite
VACUUM INTO.
Restore Steps (High Risk)
- Confirm you have a current export saved before restoring.
- In Restore from backup (.db), choose a
.dbfile. - Click Restore database
- Confirm the warning prompt.
- After restore, you will be signed out and must log in again.
Important: Restore replaces the database and may remove recent changes. Only restore when you are certain the backup file is the correct source of truth.
