Back up a Supabase project to your own S3, R2 or B2 bucket with the open-source backupdrill CLI (the Postgres database, plus Storage files once their S3 keys are set), then restore the snapshot into a throwaway Postgres in Docker to check it comes back.

## Good to know before installing

A skill only, with no Python, hooks or server: it has the agent run npx -y backupdrill@2.7.1 in shell commands, which npx downloads from npm on first run. The CLI connects to the user's Supabase project and their own bucket, and a drill pulls a postgres image from Docker Hub. The connection string and bucket keys stay in a .env.backupdrill file the user fills in; each command loads it in a subshell and never prints it. Nothing is sent to BackupDrill.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install backupdrill
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable backupdrill
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
