Auto Backup Your Apps

Automated backup scheduling is not built into Companion Hub yet. Today you back up individual apps on demand from the dashboard.

See Backup & Restore for how per-app backups work and where they’re written.

In the meantime

Two things you can automate yourself today:

Copy your backups offsite. Hub writes backups to <ROOT_FOLDER_HOST>/backups/. Syncing that directory to another disk or machine on a schedule protects you against drive failure, which per-app backups alone do not.

Cap retention. Set MAX_BACKUPS so old snapshots don’t fill the disk — see Environment Variables.

Do not script tar over a running app’s data directory. Hub stops the app before archiving it precisely so the files are consistent; copying live data can produce a backup that won’t restore.
