FAQPage Schema
How do I back up Ralph sessions to Google Drive with version history?▼

You can back up Ralph sessions by running the backup script with a session name, which copies data from .ralph-sessions to Google Drive SwarmSessions using timestamped version folders to preserve history.

Does the Ralph session backup script support both Windows and Linux?▼

Yes, the Ralph session backup script supports cross-platform compatibility by creating latest-win junctions for Windows and latest-linux symlinks for Linux or WSL environments.

How do I list or clean up old Ralph session backups on Google Drive?▼

You can list existing timestamped versions by passing the --list flag, or prune older backups and keep only the latest N versions by using the --cleanup=N parameter with the backup script.

What do I need to set up before running automated Ralph session backups?▼

You need Python 3 with standard libraries installed, a local .ralph-sessions directory, and a writable Google Drive SwarmSessions destination configured at your home or Windows path.

Can I limit Ralph session backups to a specific repository scope?▼

Yes, the backup script uses a repo-name context derived from your current working directory to organize versioned backups into repository-specific folders on Google Drive.

What is the best way to automate versioned backups of local session files to cloud storage?▼

Automating versioned backups to cloud storage is best handled by a script that creates timestamped folders, generates cross-platform latest links, and prunes old versions, which this backup script does for Ralph sessions.
