Backup

Backup packages tinymash export data as downloadable ZIP archives. Open it from Backup in the account navigation.

Every signed-in user can download an author bundle containing their profile, content, drafts, media, and supported plugin data. Superadmins can also download a full site backup.

Site restore is a separate superadmin action. tinymash inspects the archive first and reports its identity, contents, and conflicts. Applying it requires explicit confirmation. A successful restore replaces core site state and signs out the current session because accounts and passwords may have changed.

Plugin data is included only when an active plugin provides an export or import contributor. Core configuration, users, content, drafts, and media have rollback protection during restore. Plugin contributors own their storage changes.

Backup does not schedule jobs, manage retention, encrypt archives, or send them offsite. Download important archives to protected storage outside the installation.

See Backup and recovery for integrity checks, restore preparation, and operational backup policy.
