The Hub

Backups and restoring

Nightly automatic backups, backing up now, choosing a safe folder and restoring.

Open Hub admin → Backups (or Backups… in the menu-bar / tray icon).

  • The hub makes one automatic backup a day while it’s running and keeps the number you choose.
  • Back up now makes a manual backup, kept until you delete it.
  • Backup settings: pick a folder off this PC’s main drive if you can — a USB drive, or a OneDrive, Dropbox or iCloud Drive folder — so backups survive if the PC fails.

Restoring

Restoring replaces all current inventory, so click Back up now first. Hub admin → Backups shows these steps with your exact folders and Open data folder / Open backups folder buttons:

  1. Quit the hub: menu-bar / tray icon → Quit getstoqd Hub. Phones and tablets keep new scans and sync later.
  2. In the hub data folder, rename inventory.db to inventory-before-restore.db, and delete inventory.db-wal and inventory.db-shm if they’re there.
  3. Copy the backup you want from the backups folder into the data folder and rename it inventory.db.
  4. Start the hub again and check the Stock tab.

Your license isn’t affected by restoring.

On one phone or tablet with Standalone Pro, see Using getstoqd on one device.
