📦 Bleed Server Backups

Bleed includes export tools that allow the Owner to preserve copies of the server’s custom emojis and stickers.

These commands are useful before major server changes, expression cleanup, redesigns, or any situation where you want an offline backup of visual server assets.

Both commands require Administrator and should remain Owner-only.

😀 Export Server Emojis

,extractemotes

Exports the server’s custom emojis and sends them together in a ZIP file.

Permission Required: Administrator

This is useful before:

• deleting or replacing emotes
• reorganizing expressions
• changing server branding
• removing unused graphics
• testing a new expression set
• making major server changes

Keep the exported ZIP somewhere secure so important custom emotes can be restored or reused later if needed.

🏷️ Export Server Stickers

,extractstickers

Exports all server stickers and sends them together in a ZIP file.

Permission Required: Administrator

This serves the same backup purpose as ,extractemotes, but for Discord’s sticker collection.

Consider creating a fresh export before deleting or replacing significant sticker artwork.

🗃️ Recommended Backup Practice

These commands do not appear to create a complete backup of the Discord server.

They specifically preserve:

,extractemotes → custom emojis

,extractstickers → custom stickers

They should therefore be treated as asset backups, not as a substitute for preserving:

• channel structure
• roles and permissions
• Bleed configuration
• important embeds
• moderation records
• ticket transcripts
• server artwork
• written policies

Maintain those separately where appropriate.

⚖️ Laws of Backup Management

I. Back Up Before Deleting

Export important expressions before large-scale cleanup.

II. Preserve Original Assets

When possible, keep the original high-quality artwork in addition to Bleed’s export.

III. Protect Private Files

Do not casually distribute backup archives containing assets intended only for Holme.

IV. Organize Backups Clearly

Use dates or version names so you know when each export was created.

V. Test Before Relying on a Backup

Confirm that exported ZIP files contain the expected assets before deleting originals.

📜 Quick Reference

,extractemotes — Export all server emojis as a ZIP

,extractstickers — Export all server stickers as a ZIP

📦 What belongs to the Archive should never depend upon a single copy. Preserve before replacing, and remember before removing.
