Restore from Backups

During installation, if the installer finds an existing configuration file that conflicts with the dotfiles repository, it gives you the option to back it up.

Where are backups stored?

All backups are centralized in:

~/.config/ava/backups/

Each backup is placed inside a timestamped folder, for example: ~/.config/ava/backups/20260429-123045/

How to restore a backup

  1. Locate the backup folder in ~/.config/ava/backups/.
  2. Find the file you want to restore (e.g. .zshrc).
  3. Overwrite the symlink created by the installer with your backup:
cp -a ~/.config/ava/backups/20260429-123045/.zshrc ~/.zshrc

How to uninstall system drop-ins

If you used --system-only or --full and want to remove the workstation tweaks from your system:

sudo rm -f /etc/systemd/coredump.conf.d/99-ava-workstation.conf
sudo rm -f /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/99-ava-workstation.conf
sudo rm -f /etc/sysctl.d/99-ava-workstation.conf

# Reload services
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart systemd-coredump
sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald
sudo sysctl --system
