Archives

Obscura Flow can archive projects from the workspace using the settings defined under Settings -> Archives.

Configure archives

The Archives tab lets you define:

• the archive destination folder;
• the archive engine: zip, tar, tar.gz, pigz, or zstd;
• the archive strategy;
• the compression level;
• size and checksum validation;
• the naming format.

Name archives

Archive names can use placeholders such as {yyyy}, {mm}, {dd}, {project}, {workspace}, {timestamp}, {uuid}, or {sequence}.

Recommended example:

{yyyy}-{mm}-{dd}_{hh}-{min}-{ss}_{project}

Run an archive

Use the available archive action from the project or workspace. Obscura Flow creates the archive in the configured folder, tracks progress, and records the result in workspace history.

Validation and synchronization

After a successful archive, the entry is stored locally in workspace.archiveHistory. If the API is available, it is synchronized with the backend; otherwise, an offline operation is queued.

Delete original files

Deleting the original after archiving must remain conditional on a valid archive and explicit confirmation. If confirmation is refused, the archive remains available and the source folder stays in place.
