<h1 id="backup-restore-import-and-export">Backup, restore, import and export</h1>
<h2 id="backup-and-restore-the-datastore-file">Backup and restore the datastore file</h2>
<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>
<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>
<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>
<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>
<h2 id="import-links-from...">Import links from...</h2>
<h3 id="diigo">Diigo</h3>
<p>If you export your bookmark from Diigo, make sure you use the Delicious export, not the Netscape export. (Their Netscape export is broken, and they don't seem to be interested in fixing it.)</p>
<h3 id="mister-wong">Mister Wong</h3>
<p>See <a href="https://github.com/sebsauvage/Shaarli/issues/146">this issue</a> for import tweaks.<a href=".html"></a></p>
<h3 id="semanticscuttle">SemanticScuttle</h3>
<p>To correctly import the tags from a <a href="http://semanticscuttle.sourceforge.net/">SemanticScuttle</a> HTML export, edit the HTML file before importing and replace all occurences of <code>tags=</code> (lowercase) to <code>TAGS=</code> (uppercase).<a href=".html"></a></p>
