Back up memory
Create and verify a backup before heavier maintenance, migration, or broad memory cleanup.
Create a backup before heavy cleanup, migration, import, or Dream maintenance.
Backup routine
Use this routine when the memory graph has become important enough that losing it would slow future work.
- Open the Web Console settings page.
- Check that backup storage is configured and reachable.
- Run a manual backup before broad edits, imports, or Dream suggestions.
- Record the backup time and destination in your project notes.
- Restore from the backup in a test environment when you change backup settings.
Backups are most valuable before these actions:
| Action | Why back up first |
|---|---|
| Large cleanup | deleted or moved memories may be hard to reconstruct |
| Importing old notes | imports can create duplicate or noisy memories |
| Dream maintenance | suggestions should be reversible during review |
| Server migration | storage, auth, and environment changes can expose config mistakes |
A backup that has never been restored is only a guess. Test restore before you need it urgently.
