Backup & Restore Your Phonox Collection

Backup & Restore Your Phonox Collection

Keeping your vinyl collection safe is easy with Phonox. Here’s how to backup and restore your data.

Backup Your Collection

Phonox stores everything locally in PostgreSQL inside Docker. To create a backup:

./phonox-cli backup

This command dumps your database and archives uploads. Backups are stored in the backups/ directory.

Restore Your Collection

To restore from a backup:

./phonox-cli restore 20260222_120000

Choose the backup file you want to restore. Confirm before overwriting current data.

Warning: Restoring will overwrite your current collection. Always create a backup first!

More Tips

  • Run backups before upgrades or major changes
  • Keep backup files in a safe location
  • For more details, see the Phonox CLI Guide

Your collection is now protected and easy to restore!
