Backups can be done manually with the following commands:
Database backup:
cp ~/ItemPath/data/appdata.db ~/ItemPath/data/backups/appdata-backup-03-2026.db
Docker-compose.yml backup (replacing MM-YY with the current date):
cp docker-compose.yml ItemPath/data/backups/docker-compose-03-26.yml
To restore the files in case of a failed upgrade, simply 'cp' the files in the opposite direction. Be careful when doing this! You don't want to overwrite anything by mistake.
For ItemPath support: The update script makes a backup of the ItemPath database and docker-compose.yml file.
