Hermes adds one-command backup and restore for agents
The post shows a practical hermes backup / hermes import workflow for packaging an agent’s state into a single ZIP file and restoring it later.
- hermes backup writes /hermes-backup-<timestamp>.zip containing config.yaml, .env, auth, memories, skills, sessions, cron jobs, and profiles.
- It uses SQLite’s backup API, so the agent can stay live while the backup runs.
- hermes import /hermes-backup-<timestamp>.zip restores the snapshot.
- A --quick mode keeps only critical state such as config.yaml, state.db, .env, auth, and cron jobs.
- The image also notes an hermes update --backup flow that forces a full HERMESHOME zip before pulling updates.
