Backup and restore

Back up before something goes wrong.

Local-first gives you control. Songcards 0.0.8 gives you backup, restore and portability tools so that control is practical.

Full backup is the safety copy.

A full Songcards JSON backup is the complete backup format for the local library. Markdown and catalogue exports are useful portability workflows, not replacements for a full backup.

Full backup: complete Songcards JSON backup
Merge restore: bring backup data into the existing library
Replace restore: deliberately replace the current local library
Portable export: Markdown / Obsidian and catalogue export workflows

Merge restore

Bring backup data into the current library without deliberately replacing the whole local library first.

Songcards Obsidian import and export screen for Markdown songcards.

Portable export

Markdown / Obsidian and catalogue export help you move readable records, but they do not replace a complete backup habit.

Replace is destructive to the current local library.

When uncertain, create a fresh backup first. Replace restore should be a deliberate recovery action, not an experiment.

Songcards 0.0.8

Backups make local-first practical.

Keep song records, rights notes and release context in a Windows library you control.
