Phials data and storage

Phials stores several different classes of data. Phials Home contains durable app-wide settings and state. A Workspace Folder bundle contains the data owned by one Workspace Folder. OS-managed caches contain work Phials can regenerate. Your ordinary files remain ordinary filesystem content outside those stores.

• Phials Home and global app data maps app-wide settings, databases, session state, installed plugins, and locally stored Workspace Folder bundles.
• Workspace Folder data and portable bundles identifies the files that must stay together for one Workspace Folder.
• Caches and temporary data distinguishes safe-to-regenerate storage from durable data.
• Back up and restore Phials data defines complete backup scopes and restoration order.

For the ordinary storage, movement, backup, and removal tasks for one Workspace Folder, see Use Workspace Folders.
