nnote backup

nnote backup [<output_path>] [-d <dir>] [--include-config] [--dry-run] [--quiet]

Back up notes to a .tar.gz archive. If no output path is given, saves nnote-backup-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz in backup_dir (if configured) or the current directory.

  • -d — scope the backup to a subdirectory

  • --include-config — also bundle ~/.config/nnote/config.yaml into the archive

  • --dry-run — list files that would be included without writing anything

  • --quiet — suppress output (useful for scripting)
