Export to Obsidian
If Obsidian is your knowledge hub, Obsidian Sync copies every conversation in your XWX Backup vault into a subfolder of your vault as standard Markdown — frontmatter intact, ready for Dataview, backlinks and graph view.
Setting up the sync target
In Settings → Vault, find Export to Obsidian:
- Click Select Obsidian vault folder and pick your vault root
- The app validates the folder (it must contain an
.obsidiansubfolder) - Conversations sync into an
XWX Backupsubfolder (customizable) - Click Sync now for the initial copy
Each sync overwrites previously exported files and adds new ones, so the folder converges to exactly match your vault.

What lands in your vault
Every conversation becomes one Markdown note:
markdown
---
title: "Debugging the WebSocket reconnect loop"
platform: claude
model: claude-sonnet-4-5
created: 2026-08-12T09:14:00Z
tags: [debugging, websocket]
source: https://claude.ai/chat/…

# Debugging the WebSocket reconnect loop
…full conversation as Markdown…Frontmatter fields power Obsidian workflows: Dataview tables by platform or tag, tags: for your taxonomy, and the source URL for jumping back to the original chat.

Sync semantics
- Sync is manual or on-ingest: enable auto-copy to mirror new/changed files within seconds of an export, or click Sync now whenever you like
- Deleted-in-app conversations are removed from the Obsidian folder on the next sync (the folder mirrors the vault)
- Files are plain Markdown — rename or edit them in Obsidian freely; the next sync restores canonical names, so prefer renaming inside XWX Backup
tip: Point Obsidian’s graph view at the synced folder to see your AI archive interlinked with the rest of your notes.
