Added

  • Optional KEEP_LOCAL_BACKUP environment variable to keep backup files locally after upload

Why this exists

This feature was added mainly for CLI and personal workflows (local machine, VPS, NAS).
I needed a way to keep a local copy after upload, so it’s implemented as an opt-in option
with a safe default. Sharing it in case others find it useful too 🙂

Behavior

  • Default behavior is unchanged: local backup files are deleted after successful upload
  • This remains safe for Railway and other PaaS platforms with ephemeral filesystems
  • When KEEP_LOCAL_BACKUP=true is set, backups are preserved locally

Improvements

  • CLI output updated to reflect local backup behavior
  • Documentation updated for clarity

Compatibility

  • No breaking changes
  • Fully backward compatible with existing deployments
