# Memory Log: Backup System for Computer Reset
Date: 2026-01-19

---

## What Was Done

Created comprehensive backup and restore system to protect all work from computer reset.

---

## Files Created

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `backup_before_reset.sh` | Creates backup of all critical data |
| `restore_after_reset.sh` | Restores all critical data |
| `RESET-IMPACT-ANALYSIS.md` | Detailed analysis of what's at risk |
| `BACKUP-RESTORE-QUICK-REF.md` | Quick reference guide |

---

## What's Protected

### 🔴 Critical (Lost on Reset - Must Restore)
- **Cron jobs** (6 jobs)
  - Daily pickle motivation to Stevan (5:45 PM)
  - Daily anus fact (9:00 AM)
  - Daily Remix Sniper scan (9:00 AM)
  - Weekly remix stats update (Sundays 10:00 AM)
  - Weekly validation report (Sundays 11:00 AM)
  - Daily text to Jake Smith (9:10 PM)

- **Launchd service** (Remi bot auto-restart)
- **PostgreSQL database** (remix_sniper schema)

- **Tracking data**
  - `predictions.json` (8 predictions)
  - `remixes.json` (1 remix outcome)
  - `snapshots/` (daily chart snapshots)

- **Environment files**
  - `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`
  - `DATABASE_URL`

### 🟡 Important (May Survive - But Backed Up)
- Project code (`~/projects/remix-sniper/`)
- Clawdbot workspace (`~/.clawdbot/workspace/`)
- Custom scripts (`pickle_motivation.sh`, `daily-anus-fact.sh`)

## Usage

### Before Reset
```bash
# 1. Run backup
~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup_before_reset.sh

# 2. Copy to external storage
rsync -av ~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup-before-reset-* /Volumes/ExternalDrive/
```

### After Reset
```bash
# 1. Copy from external storage
rsync -av /Volumes/ExternalDrive/backup-before-reset-* ~/.clawdbot/workspace/

# 2. Run restore
~/.clawdbot/workspace/restore_after_reset.sh ~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup-before-reset-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
```

## Backup Contents

```

```

---

## Verification Commands

```bash
# Check cron jobs (should have 6)
crontab -l

# Check launchd service
launchctl list | grep remix-sniper

# Check database
psql -d remix_sniper -c "\dt"

# Check tracking data
ls -la ~/.remix-sniper/tracking/

# Check bot logs
tail -f ~/projects/remix-sniper/bot.log
```

---

## Next Steps

1. **Run backup** before reset
2. **Copy to external storage**
3. **Verify backup contents**
4. **After reset, run restore script**
5. **Run verification commands**
6. **Test Remi bot in Discord**

---

## Notes

- Backup scripts are executable
- SHA256 checksums verify file integrity
- Restore script verifies checksums before restoring
- PostgreSQL database is currently empty (schema exists, no data)
- All important data is in JSON files (predictions, remixes)

## Questions?

If anything goes wrong:
1. Check backup directory exists
2. Verify checksums: `shasum -c sha256-checksums.txt`
3. Manually restore specific items if script fails
4. Tag Buba in Discord
