Updates, backups, and what you must never lose.

Updating

Download the new release ZIP, stop the service, replace binaries, start again. Version policy is N-2: you can be two versions behind without losing compatibility.

Backup

Your backup target is simple:

  • Data directory — contains the SQLite database, uploaded labels, flow definitions and the archive.
  • Encryption key(s) — if you use credential references (cred://), the key that decrypts them lives outside the data directory.
The two sentences about loss: Without the data directory, you lose every label definition, flow configuration, archive entry and audit trail. Without the encryption key, every stored credential reference becomes unreadable — permanently.
