How to backup Wired Server

Essential data files

Wired Server.app installs its data files (user accounts, boards, configuration, etc.) in the ~/Library/Wired directory.

Critical configuration files are listed below:

• ~/Library/Wired/banner.png
• ~/Library/Wired/database.sqlite3
• ~/Library/Wired/database.sqlite3.bak
• ~/Library/Wired/etc/wired.conf
• ~/Library/Wired/wired.log (optional)

You are free to use any backup solution of your choice in order to make these files secure and restorable.

Using the app

Wired Server.app also provides a graphical way of exporting/importing settings in Menu > File > Import/Export Settings. WARNING: The Import Setting feature is fixed only since Wired Server 2.5-19. Export settings in older version than 2.5-19 should work, even if it crash the app or became non-responsive, the saved file may be imported in version equals or superior to 2.5-19.

NOTE: For absolute safety, prefer doing your backups with the server off when possible.
