Use a personal ZIP to move your own documents and settings. Moving an entire host also requires accounts, execution state, and engine connections beyond that personal export.

Select files, conversations, services, and settings in Export backup. Projects are included with conversations. Estimate the size, export the ZIP, and record its version and date.

Media is included by default; excluding it can leave missing images in conversations. API keys are excluded unless selected, and exporting them creates a plaintext key file.

Merge restores missing files and skips existing paths. Overwrite replaces the selected modules and snapshots the old data. It requires your current account password to confirm.

Panel archives config, data, logs, and users. It excludes the environment file and host management key, and may skip unreadable files. It does not guarantee complete migration.

For a full host migration, stop writes and record versions and actual data locations. Preserve databases, encryption keys, and required connection state, including any configured external directories.

Restore in a test location first. Check documents, projects, connections, services, and tasks. Rebuild missing dependencies, verify WeChat state, and only then resume serving users.
