To back up and restore Hermes skills during migration, copy your skills, sessions, and configuration data between local and backup directories, using MD5 file comparison to restore only missing or changed items while safely merging sessions.

The safest way to sync Hermes sessions is by merging the session registry instead of replacing it, ensuring newer local content and session registrations are preserved during the restoration process.

Yes, you can use the included backup script alongside GitHub sync guidance and Obsidian backup workflows to automate and preserve your Hermes skills, sessions, and configurations over time.

Overwriting session registrations occurs if the restoration replaces the entire sessions.json file instead of merging it; applying content-aware file comparison and session registry merging prevents this data loss.
