FAQPage Schema

How do I automate hourly backups of my agent workspace to a remote Git repository?▼

To automate hourly backups to a remote Git repository, schedule the backup script via crontab. It compresses your workspace, gateway config, agent identities, installed skills, and cron jobs into a tarball, then pushes it to host-specific Git branches.

What files and configurations are included when backing up agent collective state?▼

Backing up agent collective state includes the workspace, gateway config, agent identity files, installed skills, and cron jobs. It packages these elements into a tarball with metadata for pushing to a remote Git repository.

Do I need a GitHub token to back up agent state to Git branches?▼

Yes, a GitHub token is required to back up agent state to Git. The script reads environment variables for the token and repository paths to authenticate and push the backup tarball to the appropriate host-specific branch.

Can I restore agent workspace and gateway config across different host nodes after a failure?▼

Yes, you can restore agent workspace and gateway config across different host nodes. The backup process pushes to host-specific Git branches, enabling cross-node recovery and quick restoration of agent collective memory after failures.

What's the best way to manage disaster recovery schedules for agent state backups?▼

The best way to manage disaster recovery schedules is via crontab for hourly execution, or centrally managed through a triad-cron-manager. This ensures regular recovery points are created without manual intervention.
