Migrate from PasteBar
Requires a supported official PasteBar backup ZIP. Keep the original backup.
Start a migration
Section titled “Start a migration”- Use PasteBar’s Backup and Restore settings to create a ZIP. Keep a copy and export your current Stash library before migration.
- In Stash, choose Settings → General → Migrate from PasteBar… and select the ZIP.
- Review the completion summary for skipped items and unresolved file references. Spot-check a few History items and boards.
Supported static text, links, code, images with available bytes and external references can migrate. History dates start at import time. Saved clips keep their dates and go into Pinboards corresponding to collections and tabs. Protected content and dynamic or menu-only actions are skipped. A repeat import skips known source identities and preserves edits in Stash.
Limits and recovery
Section titled “Limits and recovery”A ZIP over 512 MiB, an individual entry over 500 MiB, or total expanded data over 1 GiB can be rejected. The importer also bounds source rows, image bytes and migrated content or metadata, and rejects encrypted or ZIP64 archives and unsupported schemas. Do not open or modify the original PasteBar database for migration. If Stash reports an interrupted migration, reopen it so recovery can finish. Keep both backups and ask for help if an error persists. Compatibility with every PasteBar version and backup is unverified.
