Where Does RaspiBlitz Store Node Data?
Where RaspiBlitz keeps Bitcoin, Lightning and app data on its attached drive for backup and moves.
Last updated
RaspiBlitz mounts its data drive beside the system SD card: app configs and service data under an app-data tree, chain data under bitcoin, channel state under lightning. The SD card holds the system; the drive holds everything irreplaceable.
Mount point and drive lettering can differ per setup, so confirm with lsblk before scripting. Stop services before copying channel state; live copies risk stale states that cost funds. Seeds plus fresh channel backups are the minimum viable rescue kit.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up a RaspiBlitz node?
Stop services and copy the app-data tree plus the bitcoin and lightning folders from the mounted drive. Configs travel in app-data, chain state in bitcoin, channels in lightning. One half alone restores poorly.
What must I save before migrating Lightning channels?
Back up channel state with the official static backup plus a full data copy while services stop. Funds need the seed plus current channel state. An old channel backup alone can lose funds, so keep both fresh.
