What a backup is made of
What goes in. Your rows and the meaning-search over them travel together — they share one SQLite file. Files come with the record of what each one is. The knowledge graph is the most expensive part here: rebuilding it means paying for a model to read every document again.
When to take one. Before anything that rewrites data — a restore, a migration to another machine, a risky experiment. A deploy does not need one: it restores code, and code lives in your repository.
What a backup does not cover. It is code-blind. Restoring an archive does not bring back the version of your application that produced the data, and a build rolled back does not roll back rows. Those are two different histories, kept in two different places on purpose.
