:::tip Already running Hermes on another machine?
You don't need to rebuild your setup from scratch. Restore a full backup with `hermes import` (see [Exporting Hermes to another machine](/reference/faq#exporting-hermes-to-another-machine)), or bring over a single agent with `hermes profile import` (see [Moving a single profile to another machine](/reference/faq#moving-a-single-profile-to-another-machine)). Note that a profile export excludes credentials by design, so an export alone is not a full backup — [`hermes backup` vs `hermes profile export`](/reference/faq#hermes-backup-vs-hermes-profile-export) explains which to use.

:::tip Moving to a new machine rather than leaving?
Take your setup with you before removing anything: `hermes backup` captures the entire `~/.hermes` directory including credentials, while `hermes profile export` packs a single profile with credentials excluded by design (so an export alone is not a full backup). See [`hermes backup` vs `hermes profile export`](/reference/faq#hermes-backup-vs-hermes-profile-export).
