 "title": "Back up your whole agent workspace and restore it",
 "page_title": "How to back up your whole agent workspace and restore it with Bloks",
 "summary": "Seal a backup with a passphrase, check it, and restore it without losing what it replaces.",
 "who": "A person who has built up agent memory, skills and conversations in Bloks and wants a safe copy before moving to a new machine or reinstalling.",
 "problem": "Losing a workspace loses memory, conversations and setup that took time to build.",
 "outcome": "A passphrase-sealed backup you can check and restore, with a fresh backup taken first so the replaced data is kept.",
 "steps": [
  "Open Settings and find Backups; the whole workspace is backed up every day, and you can back up any time.",
  "Start a backup, seal it with a passphrase, and store the passphrase somewhere safe.",
  "Check the backup from Settings to confirm it is readable.",
  "To restore, use Settings or run: bloks-server restore",
  "Confirm the restored agents, conversations and memory look right; the restore keeps a fresh backup of what it replaces."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Bloks repo at hamedgitty/bloks, create a sealed backup of the workspace and check it. Expected output: a backup file that the check reports as valid. Verify that the check passes and that you have the passphrase stored outside the backup.",

  "any"

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the restore command is bloks-server restore, but it does not describe where backup files are stored, so check the Backups section in Settings for the location.",

  "The Bloks desktop app installed on your machine",
  "At least one provider you can use: a Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI you already signed in to, or an API key for a chat engine",
  "A project folder or files the agent is allowed to work in",
