Project Backup

Upload an entire project directory to Tusky for durable, decentralized backup. Files are encrypted client-side and sync to the Walrus network automatically — no single point of failure.

Prerequisites

• MCP server configured and connected to your agent
• For private vaults: TUSKYDP_PASSWORD set in the MCP config

Tools used: tusky_vault_create, tusky_folder_create, tusky_file_upload

Workflow

1. Create a vault for the backup

tusky_vault_create({ name: "myapp-backup-2025-03-16", visibility: "private" })

2. Mirror the directory structure

Create folders that match your project layout:

tusky_folder_create({ vaultId: "<vault-id>", name: "src" })
tusky_folder_create({ vaultId: "<vault-id>", name: "components", parentId: "<src-folder-id>" })
tusky_folder_create({ vaultId: "<vault-id>", name: "tests" })

3. Upload each file

Upload files to the corresponding folders:

tusky_file_upload({
  filePath: "/path/to/project/src/index.ts",
  vaultId: "<vault-id>",
  folderId: "<src-folder-id>"
})

Repeat for all files. The agent can walk the directory tree and upload in bulk.

4. Verify

Files start in hot status and sync to Walrus in the background. No action needed — the sync happens automatically.

When to use this

• Periodic backups of source code or configuration
• Snapshotting a project before a major refactor
• Archiving build artifacts or release bundles
• Creating a durable record of a project state at a point in time

Note

For private vaults, files are encrypted before upload. The agent handles this transparently — no extra steps needed.

Tips

• Use dated vault names (e.g., myapp-backup-2025-03-16) to distinguish snapshots
• Skip node_modules and build artifacts — back up source code and configuration, not generated files
• Use tusky_file_upload for local files — it handles reading from disk, encryption, presigned URLs, and upload confirmation automatically
• Use folders liberally — they make it easy to navigate the backup later
