Files, disks and backup
The Files view is a browser over the box's bulk storage. The virtual root lists the drives: work (the box's own data partition) and any mounted external disk.
- Upload with the button, or drag files onto the folder.
- Download a file directly, or any folder as a
.tar.gz. - Move with the move bar or by dragging a row onto a folder; rename, make folders, delete (a non-empty folder asks for the recursive confirmation).
Everything stays jailed to those roots — the server refuses any path that would escape them. A chat pane rides along when Claude is enabled, so you can ask the box about what you are looking at.
External disks
The disk panel lists every disk the box can see. External drives can be mounted, unmounted, or formatted; the boot media and the work partition are protected and refuse every operation.
Backup
The Backup card mirrors the box's persistent data — /work and the boot media state — onto a mounted external drive under pipeos-backup/, with a timestamp of the last run per drive. Plug in a drive, mount it, back up, unmount, and the copy is cold storage. Backups are rsync mirrors: a second run only copies what changed.
