title: Backup and Restore
|
|
description: Export and restore CowAgent configuration and agent workspace data
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
CowAgent can create a portable local archive for migration or disaster recovery.
|
|
|
|
## Create a backup
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cow backup
|
|
cow backup --output /safe/location/cow-backup.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The archive contains:
|
|
|
|
- `config.json`
|
|
- Agent persona and user files such as `AGENT.md`, `USER.md`, and `MEMORY.md`
|
|
- Daily memory, session history, knowledge, custom skills, and scheduled tasks in the configured workspace
|
|
- Legacy `user_datas.pkl`, when present
|
|
|
|
Transient `tmp/` data, caches, Git metadata, and symbolic links are skipped. The
|
|
archive is written with owner-only permissions where the operating system
|
|
supports them.
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
A backup may contain API keys, conversation history, and other personal data.
|
|
Store and transfer it as a secret. The ZIP file is not encrypted.
|
|
</Warning>
|
|
|
|
## Restore a backup
|
|
|
|
Stop CowAgent before restoring:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cow stop
|
|
cow restore /safe/location/cow-backup.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `--workspace` to migrate workspace files to a different location:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cow restore cow-backup.zip --workspace ~/cow-restored
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Restore validates the archive format and paths before writing anything. It
|
|
overwrites matching files but does not delete unrelated files already present
|
|
at the destination. When current CowAgent data exists, the command first
|
|
creates a `cow-pre-restore-*.zip` rollback archive beside the selected backup.
|
|
|
|
For unattended scripts, pass `--yes` to acknowledge overwrites.
