Output

• Data export with multiple formats
• Import with conflict handling
• Automated backup with retention
• Vault validation
• Change tracking for sync

Error Handling

Issue	Cause	Solution
Export fails	Large vault	Use streaming export
Import conflicts	Existing files	Provide overwrite option
Backup corruption	Interrupted write	Verify with checksum
Sync conflicts	Concurrent edits	Implement conflict resolution
