Backups

aura backs up its database every day with the Backup Database job (at 3:00 AM by default, see Jobs). Each backup is a complete copy of the database, with your settings, saved sets and download history.

Keep Backups

How many backups are kept, from 1 to 100 (default 7). The oldest is deleted when a new backup is made.

Backups

Lists your backups, newest first. Back Up Now makes a backup straight away, for example before you try something new.

Backups are saved in a backups folder next to the database, /config/backups by default, as AURA_<date>_<time>.db.

aura also makes a backup before each database update, next to AURA.db in /config, named like AURA_backup_v7_to_v8_<timestamp>.db. These aren’t listed here or deleted automatically, so you can remove old ones yourself once you’re happy with the update.

Restoring a Backup

1. Stop aura.
2. Move AURA.db out of the /config folder, along with AURA.db-wal and AURA.db-shm if they’re there.
3. Copy the backup into the /config folder and rename it to AURA.db.
4. Start aura.

Note

Restoring a backup also restores the settings saved in it. If you changed settings after the backup, export them first from Advanced so you can import them again.
