dsh-backup 📦

English | 简体中文

Unofficial project: independently developed and maintained by a community member, not an official DeepSeek product.

Automated backups of your DSH data — sessions, profile config and any custom directories — packed into .zip archives with scheduled or manual runs and automatic rotation.

Screenshot

Action	Effect
Scheduled backup	Packs DSH data on a timer (default every 6 h)
Manual backup	One-click "Back up now" from the Settings page
Custom directories	Add extra paths (e.g. your memory library) per line
Rotation	Keeps only the latest N archives (default 10), old ones are deleted
Restore	Manual only — extract an archive back to its original location (steps in docs/install.md)

What is backed up by default: ~/.dsh/sessions (conversation history), ~/.dsh/profiles (config, excluding node_modules), ~/.dsh/AGENTS.md (global conventions). Everything else — like your memory library — goes into the custom directory list.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add "github:a903067276-rgb/dsh-backup#main"

Then restart dsh web. Manual fallback: docs/install.md.

Usage

Open Settings → Backup:

• Status row: last backup / next scheduled run / backup folder
• Back up now button
• Backup list: name, size, time, delete
• Settings: backup folder, schedule toggle + interval (hours), retention count, custom directories (one absolute path per line)

Platform support

Platform	Status
macOS	✅ tested
Linux	✅ expected (pure Node, no system zip required)
Windows	✅ expected (pure Node, no system zip required)

Requirements

• DSH web >= 0.1.0-rc.6
• Version compatibility (best effort — the settings card uses dual-field key+id registration to satisfy both rc.6 (id) and rc.7+ (key); verified locally on rc.6/rc.8/0.1.1-rc.2, not guaranteed on every DSH version):
  • DSH 0.1.0-rc.6 and newer (incl. 0.1.1-rc.1/rc.2): try main (default).
  • Conservative fallbacks (the last pre-0.1.1 build): DSH 0.1.0-rc.7/rc.8 → v0.1.2 (dsh plugin add github:a903067276-rgb/dsh-backup#v0.1.2); DSH 0.1.0-rc.6 → frozen rc6-compat tag (no maintenance).
• Node.js ≥ 16.7 (bundled with DSH)
• Maintenance policy: this plugin keeps evolving with the latest DSH releases; compatibility with older DSH versions is best-effort only and not guaranteed going forward.

How it works

• Host: a zero-dependency zip packer (lib/zip.js, pure Node streams — no system zip, no shell, immune to the session sandbox), a timer-driven schedule, and a /api/dsh-backup/* route for the Settings page.
• Client: one Settings section (settings.section, "备份") that lists backups and edits configuration; saving writes the config back into the profile's cordis.patch.yml (takes effect after restart).

Notes

• Restore is intentionally manual: stop DSH, extract the archive over the original paths, and keep the current data around until you are sure the restore is correct. The plugin never overwrites anything by itself.
• The backup folder defaults to ~/Documents/DSH/backup and can be changed in Settings.
• Only backups the plugin owns (dsh-backup-*.zip) are listed/deleted — other files in the folder are left alone.
