## Backup and restore
+`backup.snapshot` makes a consistent copy of the live WAL database with
+`VACUUM INTO`; the result lands in `var/db/backup/` as
+`bokfd-<timestamp>.db` (the response carries its SHA-256). Interactive:
+
```sh
docker compose exec -e BOKFD_PASSWORD='<pw>' bokfd \
bokfctl --user admin backup.snapshot
-ls var/db/backup # <db>-<timestamp>.db + .sha256
+ls var/db/backup
+```
+
+For unattended backups (restic, cron) use an admin-scoped token instead of
+the password, created once:
+
+```sh
+docker compose exec -e BOKFD_PASSWORD='<pw>' bokfd \
+ bokfctl --user admin token.create '{"label":"backup","scopes":["admin"]}'
+# store the token (shown once) in a root-only file, e.g. /etc/bokf/bokfd-backup.env:
+# BOKFD_TOKEN=bokf_...
```
+Then, before every restic run: take a snapshot through the daemon and let
+restic read only the snapshots — never the live database:
+
+```sh
+. /etc/bokf/bokfd-backup.env
+docker compose --project-directory /mnt/data/bokf exec -T -e BOKFD_TOKEN \
+ bokfd bokfctl backup.snapshot >/dev/null
+find /mnt/data/bokf/var/db/backup -name 'bokfd-*.db' -mtime +14 -delete
+restic backup --exclude='/mnt/data/bokf/var/db/bokfd.db*' \
+ --exclude='/mnt/data/bokf/var/run' /mnt/data/bokf
+```
+
+The WAL and shared-memory files (`bokfd.db-wal`, `bokfd.db-shm`) must be
+excluded together with the main file; an inconsistent copy of a live SQLite
+database is worse than no backup.

Restore:
