dsh-backup

English | 简体中文

dsh-backup is a DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin that backs up and restores ~/.dsh with a single command.

Sessions, settings, skills, and plugin config all live in ~/.dsh. Delete it by accident, break a config, or move to a new machine — with a backup, you get it all back. Credentials never enter an archive; scheduled backups and GitHub sync are supported (details in the advanced guide, Chinese).

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add @xiaoyuyu6420/dsh-backup
# or from GitHub:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:xiaoyuyu6420/dsh-backup

Then restart dsh web. Requires macOS / Linux / Windows 10+ (ships tar) and DSH 0.1.0-rc.6 or compatible.

Quickstart

1. Install (above) and restart dsh web
2. Run /backup
3. Done — the archive lands in ~/Desktop/dsh-backups/, named with a timestamp

Want it on a schedule? /backup auto 12 — every 12 hours, keeps going across restarts.

Commands

Task	Command
Back up now	/backup
Schedule	/backup auto 12 (off to stop, status to check)
Restore	/backup restore latest (--dry-run to preview)
List backups	/backup list
Verify integrity	/backup verify [prefix|all]
Delete	/backup delete <prefix|latest>
Keep N copies (default 7)	/backup --keep N

Prefer clicking? There's a visual panel in dsh web settings.

New machine

Prerequisite: GitHub sync was configured on the old one (setup).

1. Install the plugin, set the same githubRepo
2. /backup github pull — fetch the remote backups
3. /backup restore latest --sync-deps — restore and reinstall plugin dependencies
4. Restart dsh

More

Retention policy, credential redaction, GitHub sync, restore safeguards, config reference, troubleshooting, and development notes — in the advanced guide (Chinese).
