Backing Up and Restoring Red
|
||||
============================
|
||||
|
||||
Red can be backed up and restored to any device as long as it is a supported operating system. See page: :ref:`end-user-guarantees`.
|
||||
Red can be backed up and restored to any system as long as it is a supported per our `end-user-guarantees`.
|
||||
The system it's restored to can be different from the system that was backed up.
|
||||
|
||||
Backup steps are to be done in order and carefully to avoid any issues.
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
Some 3rd-party cogs may not support all systems that Core Red supports and such cogs may therefore not work,
|
||||
if restored to an unsupported system. This does not affect cogs that do not impose additional restrictions.

Creating backups
|
||||
****************
|
||||
|
||||
Windows
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
To make a backup, perform the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Take note of the installed cogs with ``[p]cogs``; and cog repositories with ``[p]load downloader``, then ``[p]repo list`` (``[p]`` is your bot's prefix).
|
||||
#. Stop the bot, ideally with ``[p]shutdown``.
|
||||
#. Activate your venv, and run ``redbot-setup backup <instancename>``, replacing ``<instancename>`` with the name of your instance.
|
||||
#. Copy your backup file to the new machine/location.
|
||||
#. Extract the file to a location of your choice (remember the full path and make sure that the user you are going to install/run Red under can access this path).
|
||||
#. :ref:`Install Red <install-guides>` as normal on the new machine/location.
|
||||
#. Run ``redbot-setup`` in your venv to create a new instance, using the path you remembered above as your data path.
|
||||
#. Start your new instance.
|
||||
#. Re-add the cog repositories using the same names as before.
|
||||
#. Do ``[p]cog update``.
|
||||
#. Re-add any cogs that were not re-installed (you may have to uninstall them first as Downloader may think they are still installed).
|
||||
#. Activate your venv.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
.. prompt:: batch
|
||||
|
||||
The config (data) from cogs has been saved, but not the code itself.
|
||||
"%userprofile%\redenv\Scripts\activate.bat"
|
||||
#. Backup your Red instance with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
.. prompt:: batch
|
||||
:prompts: (redenv) C:\\>
|
||||
|
||||
You can fix permissions (if needed) on your directory using:
|
||||
redbot-setup backup <your instance name>
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
.. attention::
|
||||
|
||||
sudo chown -R <user>:<user> ~/.local
|
||||
Replace ``<your instance name>`` with the name of the instance you want to backup.
|
||||
#. The command will create a backup file for you and show you the path to it.
|
||||
|
||||
Replace ``<user>`` with your actual username.
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to backup your instance to a custom folder,
|
||||
you can run the ``redbot-setup backup`` command as shown below,
|
||||
replacing ``C:\path\to\backup\folder`` with the path to the folder that
|
||||
you want to backup your instance to:
|
||||
|
||||
.. prompt:: batch
|
||||
:prompts: (redenv) C:\\>
|
||||
|
||||
redbot-setup backup <your instance name> C:\path\to\backup\folder
