Where Does RSS Guard Store Feeds and Database?
RSS Guard keeps its database folder beside settings in the per OS config tree, with OPML for moves.
Last updated
RSS Guard stores feeds, messages, and settings under its config folder: ~/.config/RSS Guard on Linux, AppData Roaming RSS Guard on Windows. The database subfolder holds the message archive that OPML cannot carry. Notification rules and data plugins live in the same tree, so whole folder copies preserve behavior exactly.
Portable builds relocate the same tree next to the executable. Back up the whole folder with RSS Guard closed. Online services like FreshRSS and Nextcloud News resync from the network instead.
Where RSS Guard stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[You]\AppData\Roaming\RSS Guard
Settings plus database subfolder. Portable mode keeps the tree beside the exe. Match modes when restoring.
~/.config/RSS Guard
Same layout. Exact database filenames shift per release, so copy the folder whole rather than single files.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move RSS Guard feeds?
Export OPML for subscriptions everywhere, or copy the config tree for history too. Online accounts just need login again on the new machine.
Where is the RSS Guard database?
In the database subfolder of the config tree per OS. Copy it closed. Merging two databases by hand corrupts message ids.
