Never lose your AI workspace again. Three independent backup layers, each protecting against different failure modes.

2. Drive MirrorFull copy to secondary drivePrimary drive failureDaily (after Tier 1)
3. Emergency ExportStandalone HTML chat backupTotal system failureAlways available

Setup

Tier 1: Daily Snapshots

Edit daily-backup.ps1 and set your paths:

$WorkspacePath = "{YOUR_WORKSPACE_PATH}"
$BackupDir = "{YOUR_BACKUP_DIR}"

Register as a scheduled task:

$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "powershell.exe" -Argument "-File {PATH_TO}\daily-backup.ps1"
$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 3AM
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "AI Workspace Backup" -Action $action -Trigger $trigger

Tier 2: Drive Mirror

If you have a secondary drive (D:, external USB, NAS), the backup script auto-syncs after creating the daily snapshot.

Edit the mirror path in daily-backup.ps1:

$MirrorPath = "D:\WorkspaceBackup"

Tier 3: Emergency Chat

emergency-chat.html is a standalone file that works in any browser with zero dependencies. It connects directly to your local Ollama instance.

Copy it to:

  • Your Desktop
  • Your secondary drive
  • A USB stick

If everything else breaks, double-click this file.

Restore Procedures

From Daily Snapshot:

Expand-Archive -Path "{BACKUP_DIR}\backup-YYYY-MM-DD.zip" -DestinationPath "{WORKSPACE}"

From Drive Mirror:

robocopy "D:\WorkspaceBackup" "{WORKSPACE}" /MIR

From Emergency Chat:

Open the HTML file in a browser. Your conversation history won't be there, but you can communicate with your local AI immediately.

Retention

Default: keeps last 7 daily snapshots. Older ones are auto-deleted. Change $RetentionDays in the script.
