What’s actually inside the backup?
Your databases, attachments, source maps, TLS state, notification settings, and recovery secrets. Telebugs records the exact app version too, so the data and the software that understands it stay together.
Backups that bring everything back
Run one command and Telebugs packs your data, configuration, secrets, and exact app version into one verified archive. If the server ever goes away, you have what you need to bring Telebugs back.
admin@telebugs:~$ telebugs data backup /backups/telebugs-production
Stopping Telebugs to create a consistent backup...
Backup created and verified: /backups/telebugs-production.tar.gz
This archive contains Telebugs data and recovery secrets. Store it securely off the server.Will Telebugs go offline while it backs up?
Briefly. Telebugs pauses long enough to capture everything from the same quiet moment, then starts again and waits until it is ready. For a bigger installation, schedule it during a maintenance window.
How do I know the archive is good?
Telebugs checks every database, stored file, checksum, and recovery
setting before it calls the backup finished. Copy it somewhere safely
off the server, then run telebugs data verify whenever you
want to check it again.
Can I bring it back on a new server?
Yes. Copy the archive over, verify it, and run restore. Telebugs retrieves the exact version you backed up and starts it with the data and secrets that belong to it.
What if the restore fails?
On an existing installation, Telebugs puts the previous data, configuration, and app version back. On a new server, it cleans up the partial installation and keeps the failed restore data for diagnosis.
