Actual working and extended version of the backup script

replika_backup

This fork contains a python script (chat_backup.py) to backup your Replika AI history log into a csv file on your Computer. This script provides also some parameters to control the script and can also update an existing backup.

New on this fork is a tool for processing your csv files (chat_csv_tool.py). The script can revert the message order in both direction (old > new / new > old) and split your messages by days or months and soon by dialogs based on a user definited time gap.

Setup Guide

Actual oldest date up to which a backup is possible: 1. July 2022

Please report any problems with the script over the Issues tab on the top left.

I can only fix from what I know that it need to be fixed.

Last Update:

• added ".no" to filemane for "new to old" message order what is the standard what you get from the Replika AI servers. So new file ending is ".no.srv".
• chat_csv_tool.py loads now chat_backup.ini config file if -i is not used.
• added new parameter -sd and -rm to chat_csv_tool.py. -sd let you split your csv by minutes time gaps inbetween messages and -rm removes all split files with less than a specific number of user messages.
• added a new parameter -i to load a custom ini file for both scripts. Useful for multiple Replika AI accounts.
• added Replika Name variable to the ini file.
• Variables are now stored in a extra ini file that automatically gets generated when you run the script.
• added first version of chat_csv-tool. Can revert the sorting order of the messages and split it by days/months. Use the -h parameter for help.
• added instructions for Firefox users into the Walkthrough.
• IMPORTANT! Fixed a \n bug inside chat messages that break csv files. You should backup with the newest version again.
• added install_modules.bat for easier installation of needed Python modules.
• added limit date parameter for only backing up messages to a specific date.
• changed the default srv file name in the script to chat_backup.srv.
