aix backups

Configuring editors can be destructive. aix creates backups of every file it modifies before writing to it.

Backup Locations

• Local: .aix/.tmp/backups/ — Backups of files within your project.
• Global: ~/.aix/backups/ — Backups of global editor config files (e.g., Windsurf’s mcp_config.json).

Commands

aix backups

List all available backups.

Automatic Cleanup

Backups are automatically cleaned up based on the settings in ai.json:

{
   "aix": {
      "cache": {
         "maxBackups": 5,
         "maxBackupAgeDays": 30
      }
   }
}
