<h2 id="backing-up-your-system">Backing Up Your System</h2>
<p>It is <em>highly</em> recommended to perform <strong>regular backups</strong> of your system. Nothing is worse than spending a lot of time setting up a system only to have to go away unexpectedly!</p>
<p>In general, simply creating a copy/archive of your system is enough for the default configuration. If you have changed default paths to point outside of your main ENiGMA½ installation take special care to ensure these are preserved as well. Database files may be in a state of flux when simply copying files. See <a href="#database-backups">Database Backups</a> below for details on consistent backups.</p>
<h3 id="database-backups">Database Backups</h3>
<p><a href="https://sqlite.org/cli.html#special_commands_to_sqlite3_dot_commands_">SQLite’s CLI backup command</a> can be used for creating database backup files. This can be performed as an additional step to a full backup to ensure the database is backed up in a consistent state (whereas simply copying the files does not make any guarantees).</p>
<p>As an example, consider the following Bash script that creates foo.sqlite3.backup files:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="k">for </span>dbfile <span class="k">in</span> /path/to/enigma-bbs/db/<span class="k">*</span>.sqlite3<span class="p">;</span> <span class="k">do
</span>sqlite3 <span class="nv">$dbfile</span> <span class="s2">".backup '/path/to/db_backup/</span><span class="si">$(</span><span class="nb">basename</span> <span class="nv">$dbfile</span><span class="si">)</span><span class="s2">.backup'"</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<h3 id="backup-tools">Backup Tools</h3>
<p>There are many backup solutions available across all platforms. Configuration of such tools is outside the scope of this documentation. With that said, the author has had great success with <a href="https://www.borgbackup.org/">Borg</a>.</p>
<h2 id="general-maintenance-tasks">General Maintenance Tasks</h2>
<h3 id="vacuuming-database-files">Vacuuming Database Files</h3>
<p>SQLite database files become less performant over time and waste space. It is recommended to periodically vacuum your databases. Before proceeding, you should make a backup!</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sqlite3 ./db/message.sqlite3 <span class="s2">"vacuum;"</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
