I Lost All My SSH Connections (Again)

· 1 min read

You know that moment when you set up a new machine and realize all your SSH connections are gone? Yeah, that happened to me. Again.

Termius actually has sync built in — but they want you to pay monthly for it. Monthly! I format my computer maybe twice a year. I’m not paying $10/month for something I need twice.

So I did what any reasonable developer with 38 years of experience would do — I spent a weekend writing a tool to solve a 5-minute problem.

termius-backup backs up and restores your Termius data across macOS, Windows, and Linux. Built it in Go because I wanted it to be a single binary with zero dependencies. Download, run, done. Back up before you format, restore after. Free forever.

Does something like this already exist? Probably. Did I check? Of course not. Where’s the fun in that?
