Backups in the Hive IDE

The Hive Consensus IDE stores data locally on your machine. Backups help protect your settings and project context. The website does not back up your code or conversations.

What’s included today

  • IDE settings & profiles — consensus profiles, participant/round settings
  • Memory configuration — built‑in MCP server configuration and preferences
  • Tool configuration metadata — AI CLI tool install/update metadata (not the tools themselves)
  • License metadata — information required for local activation
Note: Raw media and large assets (e.g., screen recordings) are not included.

How to back up now

  • In‑app backup — use the IDE’s backup controls to export settings and profiles.
  • Cloud sync (optional) — use OneDrive, iCloud, or Dropbox to keep backups safe and versioned.
  • Manual copy — periodically copy your Hive data folder (see IDE → Help → Data Folder).

Website & portal data

The website stores minimal account/subscription data in Cloudflare D1 (email, license, plan state). This is separate from your IDE data and is not part of IDE backups. To export or delete portal data, contact hello@hivetechs.io.

Roadmap

  • Scheduled backups with retention policies
  • Integrity verification with checksums
  • One‑click restore flows with preview
