Managing Backups

Moving to a new group but lazy setting up again?

By default, if Guardian is removed from the group and added back, the settings are stored in the database so no new settings are required.

If you need to change to a new group, you can use /export to export the settings and /import to import them into the new group.

Export settings

Import settings

To check current backups, use /backups and Guardian will DM you with the backups.

Check all current backups

By default, all backups are private and only the user who exported the backup can import it. If you want someone else (for example an admin) to be able to import the settings, you can make the backup public.

Private vs public screenshot

Private for own use only — making public allows anyone to import the settings.
