What we back up (and skip)
Rule: everything irreplaceable or slow to rebuild — not ROM files, not provider cover art.
Always
| Path | Why |
|---|---|
/config |
App state, DBs, CouchDB vault — includes RomM MariaDB (/config/romm/mariadb) |
/config/backup/dumps |
Nightly SQL dumps — includes romm-db |
RomM
Per RomM docs: assets = saves/states; resources = fetched covers.
| Included | Path | What |
|---|---|---|
| Database | /config/romm/mariadb + nightly dump |
Scans, hashes, matches (weeks of work) |
| Saves & states | labdata/romm/assets |
RomM-managed save files |
| Config/cache | /config/romm/config, /config/romm/redis |
Via /config snapshot |
| Skipped | Path | What |
|---|---|---|
| Cover art | labdata/romm/resources |
IGDB/SteamGridDB — minutes to re-fetch |
Emulation (/storage1/Emulation) — excluded
Legacy pre-RomM tree (EmuDeck, ES-DE, 13T roms/, symlinks). Not backed up offsite. RomM is the source of truth for saves via labdata/romm/assets + DB.
labdata — included
| Path | Why |
|---|---|
gitea/repositories, gitea/lfs |
Git + LFS |
famapp/minio, resume/minio, plane/minio |
User uploads |
romhacks/metadata, romhacks/library |
Catalog work + guides/spreadsheets |
romm/assets |
Saves (see RomM above) |
labdata — skipped
| Path | Why |
|---|---|
romm/resources |
Provider cover art |
registry |
Re-pull images |
romhacks/incoming |
Transient download queue |
