Backup and recovery

Back up, as the same user the node uses:

  • /var/lib/nvc (chain data)
  • /etc/nvc configuration and checksum files

Stop the node or copy a consistent snapshot. Restoring onto a different genesis or Chain ID is wrong and will not join Mainnet v2.

Wallet keys are separate from node data. Back them up independently and never commit them.
