# Portable archive file format

## Problems
|
|
|
|
- database migration for notifications support
|
|
- export and import of the database
|
|
|
|
The first problem could have been solved in an ad hoc way, but it may cause data loss, so the proposal is to have migration performed via export/import steps.
|
|
|
|
Out of scope of this doc - what will be the UX for database migration. It may be fully automatic, via code, with zero user interactions, or it could be via step by step wizard - irrespective of this choice it would include export and import steps.

# Proposal
|
|
|
|
Implement creating archive file and restoring from the archive in Haskell, application would only provide a source and target folders, respectively
|
|
|
|
Archive files structure:
|
|
|
|
- simplex_v1_chat.db
|
|
- simplex_v1_agent.db
|
|
- simplex_v1_files
|
|
- ...
|
|
|
|
Archive file name (includes UTC time):
|
|
|
|
simplex-chat.YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ.zip
