Storage & Backups

Manage your local SQLite databases and content-addressed attachment files.

01

Safe Background Backups

Bug Pocket backs up your data safely in the background without freezing the app. It utilizes an asynchronous Node.js streaming engine for backups to prevent UI freezes during large exports.

  • Archive Structure: Exports generate a .bugpocket zip archive containing a manifest, your SQLite databases, and your attachments folder.
  • Lock Safety: Active databases are safely copied to temporary files before archiving to prevent OS-level EBUSY lock crashes.
  • Auto-Backups: Configure a target directory to enable rolling background backups. The system strictly retains only the 3 most recent archives to conserve disk space.

Automatic Image Cleanup (Content-Addressed Attachments)

Bug Pocket automatically manages your screenshots so your computer doesn't fill up. Image files are never referenced by absolute paths. Instead, they are hashed (SHA-256) and stored locally. A background garbage collection worker automatically prunes physical files for discarded captures older than 60 days, ensuring your app data footprint remains optimized.
