How are knowledge bases and backups stored?

Hello

When I made a local knowledge base a while back, it asked me to choose a folder. I assumed that’s where the data would be stored, which led me to further think that I could drag the folder to another computer and open it from there. And, that I could turn a local base into a synced one and vice versa very easily.

But as it turns out, I have no idea how knowledge bases are stored! An explanation on how all this works would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Not an expert here but, I find what appears to be daily backups (zips files) at home/remnote/knowledge_base_name/backups. Also, at home/remnote/knowledge_base_name/files I found pdfs and other media files. I use those to make my own bundle and push to github so I have a backup of the backup of my kb.

[EDIT] I’m on mac
