Backups & Archives

Brivacia automatically protects your statistics with backups, automatic recovery and yearly archives.

Automatic backups

Brivacia regularly creates SQLite backups while your website receives visits.

Backups are stored in the private /backup folder and are used automatically if recovery is needed.

Automatic restore

If the main database becomes corrupted, Brivacia automatically:

1. Moves the corrupted database to the /corrupt folder.
2. Restores the most recent valid backup.
3. Displays a warning in the dashboard explaining what happened.

Yearly archives

Brivacia automatically archives completed years to keep the live database fast.

Archives can also be created manually at any time, for example after importing historical statistics.

Before data is removed from the live database, it is exported as JSON files into the private /archives folder.

Archived statistics remain available in the dashboard whenever all-time statistics are displayed.

Notes

• All storage folders are private and protected from direct web access.
• Backups are created automatically.
• Database recovery is automatic whenever a valid backup is available.
• Archived statistics remain available in the dashboard.
