Server 187 research backup
Access to files requires manual approval. The owner can download with their Hugging Face account; no encryption password is needed. Original source files are retained. No cleanup is performed by this backup.
Source directories and archive grouping are recorded in metadata/plan.json. Per-part SHA256, byte count, archive format and completion status are in metadata/state.json. Only completed units have a complete archive stream. Inspect warnings before treating a live-filesystem backup as consistent. Known credential files, SSH keys, authentication databases and shell histories are excluded. Symlinks are preserved without following them.
Restore one directory group
- Log in to Hugging Face and download all parts listed for a completed unit in metadata/state.json.
- Verify each part's SHA256 against the manifest.
- For
archive_format: tar.zst, concatenate the ordered parts and extract using zstd:
cat part-*.tar.zst.part | tar --zstd -xf - -C /path/to/empty-restore-directory
For older units without archive_format (plain tar), use:
cat part-*.tar.part | tar -xf - -C /path/to/empty-restore-directory
Archive paths are relative to each unit's source root. Restore in an empty directory before moving files into place. Download approval is not encryption; repository metadata remains publicly visible.
