StellarWrite uses simple .swprofile files:
{
"name": "MySilverUSB",
"device": "/dev/sdb",
"backup_path": "/media/backups/SilverUSB_2026-06-07.img",
"schedule": "weekly",
"erase_mode": "secure",
"verify_after_write": true,
"notification": {
"email": "optional@example.com"
}
}
Define and save these from the interface—import/export for easy sharing or audit.
Fancy a dash of CLI power? StellarWrite offers a powerful command-line runner:
stellarwrite backup --device /dev/sdb --out ~/usb_backups/drive1.img --secure-erase --profile MySilverUSB --lang fr
All console operations get logged and can be reviewed in the GUI later.
