<p>Backup the file <code>data/datastore.php</code> (by FTP or SSH). Restore by putting the file back in place.</p>
<p>Example command:</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="kw">rsync</span> -avzP my.server.com:/var/www/shaarli/data/datastore.php datastore-<span class="ot">$(</span><span class="kw">date</span> +%Y-%m-%d_%H%M<span class="ot">)</span>.php</code></pre></div>
<h2 id="export-links-as...">Export links as...</h2>
<p>To export links as an HTML file, under <em>Tools &gt; Export</em>, choose:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Export all</em> to export both public and private links</li>
<li><em>Export public</em> to export public links only</li>
<li><em>Export private</em> to export private links only</li>
</ul>
<p>Restore by using the <code>Import</code> feature.</p>
<ul>
<li>This can be done using the <a href="https://github.com/nodiscc/shaarchiver">shaarchiver</a> tool.<a href=".html"></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Example command:</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="kw">./export-bookmarks.py</span> --url=https://my.server.com/shaarli --username=myusername --password=mysupersecretpassword --download-dir=./ --type=all</code></pre></div>
