My data and the export

Zyx keeps its data on the company’s own server. Two ways take it out, for two different people.

For each person: Settings, My data

A private chat belongs to its person (Readers and rights). In Settings, then My data (German: Meine Daten) each person downloads their own private chats: one zip of Markdown files, one file per chat.

• You get only your own private chats.
• Another person’s private chat cannot be downloaded, not even by the owner. It answers “not found”.

For the company: zyx export

At the end of a contract the company keeps its data. On the server, run:

zyx export
zyx export --to /path/to/a/new/folder

It writes a new folder, by default Zyx export <date> inside the company folder:

In the folder	What it is
chats/	every shared chat as a Markdown file, sorted into folders
cards.md	every approval card: when, which tool, how it was decided, and by whom
database/	every table as a JSON file, the audit log included
README.md	what is in the export and what is not

The documents, skills, agents and memory in the company folder are plain files already. They stay where they are.

How it works:

• It only reads. The server can keep running, and the files agree with each other because they come from one snapshot.
• A private chat is not in it, in the readable files or in the tables. The README says how many chats were left out. Each person takes theirs with My data.
• A folder that already holds files is refused. Pick a new one.

The export is not a backup. For backups, see Backups.
