1# Backups (local snapshots)
2 
3The installed worker snapshots `~/.claude-mem/claude-mem.db` on a schedule
4(`VACUUM INTO`, consistent while sessions run) and keeps the newest N under
5`~/.claude-mem/backups/auto/`. Each snapshot is one standalone SQLite file.
6Snapshots stay on this machine.
7 
8Preserve every unrelated setting and keep `~/.claude-mem/settings.json` mode
9`0600`. Never print the file's contents: it holds credentials.

11## Routing
12 
13Based on `$ARGUMENTS`:
14- `setup` or empty: **1. Check status**, then **2. Enable snapshots**
15- `restore`: **3. Restore**
16- `status`: **1. Check status** only
17 
18## 1. Check status
19 
20```bash
21npx claude-mem backup status
22```
23 
24- Snapshot details printed: backups run. Report the last snapshot time, the
25  snapshot count and any last error; stop unless the user asked for a change
26  or a restore.
27- "Automatic backups are not enabled": continue to step 2 if setting up.
28- A "Last restore" line reports the outcome of the most recent restore.
29- "Worker is not running": start it with `npx claude-mem start` and retry.
30- "Unknown command: backup" or "Backup status failed: HTTP 404": this
31  claude-mem (CLI or running worker) has no backup support yet, so the
32  worker would ignore the backup settings.
33  Stop. Tell the user that backups are not available in their installed
34  version and that `npx claude-mem update` brings them once a release
35  includes them. Do not write the settings in step 2, and never say backups
36  are on.
