## Frequently asked questions
|
||||||
|
### Why do I see error messages?
|
||||||
|
The library I'm using to access Telegram has some small bugs. One of those
|
||||||
|
is the display of meaningless (because they are being acted accordingly upon)
|
||||||
|
error messages. Those include:
|
||||||
|
* `Exception in thread "pool-x-thread-y" java.lang.Error:
|
||||||
|
java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException`
|
||||||
|
* Something containing `AUTH_ERROR`
|
||||||
|
You can just ignore these messages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Basically, if the tool is continuing to run after error messages are shown,
|
||||||
|
you can just ignore the messages.
|
||||||
|
Either way, even if Telegram_Backup would "miss" some files or messages,
|
||||||
|
this will be detected at the next run of this program and then tried again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Where do you save the files?
|
||||||
|
The files are being saved in your User directory in a folder named
|
||||||
|
`telegram_backup`. Under windows, this would typically be under
|
||||||
|
`C:\Users\<username>\telegram_backup`. Linux users should look unter
|
||||||
|
`/home/<username>/telegram_backup`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can change this directory by supplying `--target <dir>` when calling
|
||||||
|
Telegram_Backup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### What are those files and folders?
|
||||||
|
In the folder `telegram_backup` is one folder named `stickers`, which will
|
||||||
|
hold all sticker images you've received. Then there is a folder for each
|
||||||
|
account, named after the phone number associated with that account.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In these folders you will find `auth.dat` and `dc.dat`, which contain
|
||||||
|
authentication data. There is `database.sqlite` which is a SQLite3 database
|
||||||
|
containing all your messages and other data. The folder `files` contains all
|
||||||
|
media files, named after the ID of the message they belong to. Last but not
|
||||||
|
least the folder `export` contains exported data.
