Restore from a backup

Merging or replacing, and why a bad backup restores nothing.

Open Backup workspace and choose a ZIP. DiagramDock reads and validates the entire archive before writing anything, then asks whether to merge or replace.

MergeKeeps current diagrams; overwrites only those with matching ids
Replace everythingDeletes everything in this browser first

If any part of the archive is unreadable, nothing is restored at all. A half-restored backup would be worse than a failed one, because you would believe it had worked.
