Backup, Restore & Migration

PromptHub is local-first, so your backup plan matters once prompts, skills, rules, and Agent configuration become part of a real workflow.

What to Back Up

• Prompts and version history.
• Skills and their additional files.
• Folders, tags, and rule configuration.
• Non-secret model-provider metadata.
• Export packages and important attachments.

Credentials and third-party account secrets should not be placed in screenshots, shared archives, or source-controlled documentation.

Backup Options

Method	Best For
Local export	Manual archives, release handoff, and pre-migration snapshots
WebDAV / S3	One selected online synchronization source
Self-Hosted Web	Independent desktop restore snapshots
PromptHub Cloud	Hosted objects supported by the current client and plan
Git	Text-based skills, rules, and selected templates

Sync keeps a working dataset available across locations. A backup preserves a recovery point. Use both concepts deliberately rather than assuming one automatically replaces the other.

Before Restoring

1. Confirm that the backup source is trusted.
2. Export a pre-restore snapshot of the current data.
3. Check desktop, Web, and snapshot version compatibility where required.
4. Restore explicitly, then inspect prompts, skills, tags, rules, and attachments.

Migration Advice

• Export a complete backup from the old device first.
• Keep the old device unchanged until the new device has been verified.
• Maintain both an offline recovery copy and an appropriate remote copy for important team assets.

Common Risks

Multiple Active Sync Sources

Do not let several automatic sync sources write the same dataset. Select one active source and use other paths as explicit backups.

Sensitive Data in an Archive

Before sharing or committing an export, inspect it for customer data, internal prompts, API keys, credentials, and private repository URLs.
