@ -165,24 +165,15 @@ All memories are stored in a **single local SQLite file**:
| Linux | `~/.local/share/vestige/core/vestige.db` |
| Windows | `%APPDATA%\vestige\core\vestige.db` |
**⚠️ There is no cloud sync, no redundancy, and no automatic backup.**
**Important:** Vestige stores data locally with no cloud sync, redundancy, or automatic backup. Data loss can occur from accidental deletion, disk failure, or device loss.
If that file gets:
- Accidentally deleted
- Corrupted (disk failure, power loss mid-write)
- Lost (laptop stolen, hard drive dies)
| Use Case | Risk Level | Recommendation |
|----------|------------|----------------|
| AI conversation memory | Low | Acceptable without backup—easily rebuilt |
| Coding patterns & decisions | Medium | Periodic backups recommended |
| Sensitive/critical data | High | **Not recommended**—use purpose-built systems |
...the memories are **gone**.

**For AI memory = Totally Fine**
If you lose your Claude memories, you just start over. Annoying but not catastrophic.
**For critical data = Not Fine**
Don't store medical records, financial transactions, or legal documents in Vestige.
**Vestige is not designed for:** medical records, financial transactions, legal documents, or any data requiring compliance guarantees.
