qBittorrent.Backup

Back up your qBittorrent preferences and data.

This program backs up all of your qBittorrent data to a ZIP file on your desktop, including but not limited to:

• preferences
• .torrent files
• logs
• statistics
• rss feeds
• etc.

The program is built with cross-platform support in mind, so it should work across Windows, Linux and macOS.

Usage

Back Up

Simply running the program will automatically back up your qBittorrent data to a ZIP file on your desktop.

qBittorrent.Backup.2022-09-29.16.38.00.zip

If you want to change the archive file, manually invoke the program like so:

.\qbt-backup.exe backup --archive "C:\Path\To\Backup.zip"

Restore

From a CMD/PowerShell/Terminal window, manually invoke the program like so:

.\qbt-backup.exe restore --archive "C:\Users\Name\Desktop\qbt-backup.2022-09-30.18.50.45.zip"

Restoration will skip any existing files; if you want to overwrite them, use:

.\qbt-backup.exe restore --archive "C:\Users\Name\Desktop\qbt-backup.2022-09-30.18.50.45.zip" --overwrite

To spare you from any potential regrets, a backup will first be made if you try to overwrite.

If you haven't renamed or moved a previously created backup file from your desktop folder, you can skip providing the --archive parameter and let the program magically use the latest archive:

.\qbt-backup.exe restore
