Frequently asked questions
How do I back up evcc?
Copy the YAML plus database files with the service stopped. Web UI setups may keep config inside the DB. Restoring means putting both back before start.
Service or manual paths?
Service installs read the etc YAML while manual runs use home databases. Flags plus env vars redirect the DB path. Match the running mode before scripting.
