Been copying pihole.toml and the gravity db by hand on a cron.

Is Teleporter a full replacement for that, or does it skip anything?

Has anyone restored onto a fresh v6 install and had groups, clients

and local DNS records come back intact?

It looks something like this :

So you can pick the stuff you want to Backup or Restore AFAIK 🙂

It is the opposite.  
Your process is skipping some files.

Teleporter copy these files:

```auto
/etc/hosts
/pihole/dhcp.leases
/pihole/gravity.db
/pihole/pihole-FTL.db
/pihole/pihole.toml

```

And then import all your settings back, when you restore it.

Pi-hole v6 also can import old Teleporter v5 archives.
