What this backup creates

A local timestamped folder containing downloaded Supabase Storage objects/files. For BrixFax, the important bucket is:

brixfax-public-images

Step 1: Open normal CMD

Run this from the local backup workspace, not from the deployed web app.

cd /d C:\Sites\Codex

Step 2: Create a timestamped Storage backup folder

Use a fresh folder name for each backup run.

mkdir supabase_storage_backup_YYYY_MM_DD_HH-mm

cd supabase_storage_backup_YYYY_MM_DD_HH-mm

mkdir storage

Step 3: Login/link Supabase CLI if needed

If Supabase CLI is already logged in and linked, this may be fast or partly skipped. If it shows a verification code, complete the login locally in the browser/terminal flow.

npx supabase login

npx supabase init

npx supabase link

If asked to choose a project, choose the BrixFax project.

Step 4: Copy the Storage bucket locally

npx supabase storage cp -r ss://brixfax-public-images .\storage --experimental --linked

Expected result: the bucket contents are downloaded under the local storage folder.

Step 5: Check the output

Confirm that the backup folder contains a Storage folder with the downloaded brixfax-public-images files inside it.

Important safety rules

• Run the backup locally from CMD or PowerShell.
• Database backup is separate and is handled by the Supa DB BU page.
