mikrotik-backup/docs/data-migration.md

Importing data from the Python/TypeScript release

The current release does not perform automatic data migration and does not expose the old migrate command. The supported path is the explicit, copy-only import-python command. See data-import.md for the full source discovery, validation, rollback, and failure rules.

For the standard layout of the supplied legacy project:

DATA_DIR="$PWD/storage-imported" \
DATABASE_PATH="$PWD/storage-imported/routeros_backup_next.db" \
./import-python.sh /srv/old-mikrotik-app \
  --database docker-data/db/routeros_backup_next.db \
  --backup-root docker-data

Stop the old application first. The destination directory must be new and must not contain an existing database. The import preserves application records and copies referenced backup files. It intentionally does not copy external environment secrets, service-manager files, operating-system permissions, or external SSH host-trust files.
