I get that an official tool with a full backup of all settings and history would be much more convenient, especially given the occasional data loss issues during updates. This is a known issue, and the team is working on improving data storage reliability.
I’ll share your request with the team. A detailed description of your use cases is really helpful for prioritizing features like this.
I’m actually quite curious why replacing the ~/Application Support/Cursor directory from my Time Machine backup doesn’t restore my chat history. I suspect it might be because you validate certain login credentials, which could render these backups unusable (that’s understandable). But I think the official team should either release a script—or at least let the AI generate one—to copy what needs to be backed up. Failing that, you could at least tell us what, besides that seemingly useless state.vscdb that gets backed up repeatedly, is actually worth backing up. My Time Machine backs up every hour—so if restoring from it doesn’t work, what tool can I even trust? Should I try restoring every single ~/Application Support/Cursor snapshot from my Time Machine? Actually, I already tried that, and the issue persists. You’re not a small team anymore—we’re all software developers here. Have someone work a little overtime and use your own AI IDE to write something practical for a change, instead of rolling out pointless updates all the time.
