## For agents

- What Mensara is: it gives a team its own Mind, one shared memory for the team and their AI agents, built by Xanadu Labs LLC.
- Status: signup is not open. A person joins the waitlist at https://app.mensara.ai/#waitlist. Agents cannot create an account or sign up.
- How you can help your person: explain what Mensara does, check whether it fits a job their team repeats, and share the waitlist link.
- Agent references: https://app.mensara.ai/llms.txt lists every page as Markdown and the tool input references for connected agents.

# Backup, restore and ownership

How Mensara works · Keep control · [How it works](https://app.mensara.ai/how-it-works)

Your Mind is kept as normal files that stay yours to copy and keep. A second copy protects those files, while recovery keys are kept separately.

### What you need to recover your Mind

The file backup and recovery keys are kept separately. Both are needed to rebuild your Mind on a replacement server.

1. Your team's files: records and published history
2. Second copy: kept away from the main server
3. Recovery keys: stored separately
4. Replacement server: restore and check
5. Connect services again: email, calendar and apps

## What you own

Your team's files and their published history stay yours to copy and keep. You can read and edit the exported Markdown files without Mensara. Copy the Git repository to retain history; copying Markdown files alone retains their current contents.

For your Mind, the named owner controls backups, exports and deletion.

## Files and recovery keys

A second copy of the files is kept away from the main server. The Git backup leaves out the private keys. Store the Recovery Kit separately.

Google connection credentials are stored separately from shared records and excluded from the Git backup.

## Restore, export or transfer

If the server fails, the files and recovery keys can be used to rebuild your Mind on a new server. Outside services are connected again one by one.

The owner can also export the files or transfer ownership to another person.

## Example: Recover after a server failure

Restore the most recent successful Git backup on a replacement server. Restore the keys from the Recovery Kit, then check that the activity history is intact. Reconnect outside services.

## Status: Available now

STATUS · CHECKED 3 OCTOBER 2026

Configured Git backup and recovery of tracked files and published history on a replacement server are supported. Keep the Recovery Kit separately. A Git backup doesn't include connection credentials; reconnect outside services after a Git-only restore.
