# FAQ

> The questions asked before buying and during the first week, answered honestly.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What does Blueprints actually manage?" icon="list-checks">
    The object types it has an adapter for. In version 1.0 those are **props**, **NPCs**,
    **DarkRP job spawns**, and the props **MalboroDEV PermaProps** has saved.

    Object types with no adapter are outside its authority: it does not capture, modify or
    restore them. It does not modify other addons' code or configuration.

    An enabled adapter does write the addon-owned data it manages, and only that: the DarkRP
    adapter updates DarkRP job-spawn records, and the PermaProps adapter updates PermaProps
    records.

    Full matrix: [Supported objects](/blueprints/supported-objects).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is this a backup tool?" icon="hard-drive">
    No. It versions the object types it manages. It does not back up your gamemode
    configuration, your database, your Workshop collection, your server files or anything else.

    Keep your backups.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does it work with PermaProps?" icon="pin">
    Yes, with **MalboroDEV PermaProps**: the classic Workshop tool, item `220336312`.

    Several unrelated addons are called PermaProps, so the claim is deliberately specific.
    Blueprints checks that addon's API and database schema before it writes anything; if what is
    installed does not match, the adapter reports itself unavailable and touches nothing.

    It manages **props**. PermaProps can also save vehicles, NPCs, lamps and more; those are left
    unmanaged and counted rather than half-managed. Full detail:
    [PermaProps](/blueprints/permaprops).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does DarkRP require SQLite?" icon="database">
    The job-spawn adapter does. MySQL-backed DarkRP job-spawn storage is not supported in
    version 1.0, and on those servers that adapter reports itself unavailable rather than
    capturing an incomplete world.

    The limit is scoped to that one adapter. Props, NPCs and every other part of Blueprints work
    normally on a MySQL DarkRP server. DarkRP itself is not required for anything else.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does it need an internet connection?" icon="wifi">
    Not for normal use. It keeps working for up to **14 days** with no connection at all.

    Only Remote Deploy and sending packages through Vetra need the service while you use them.
    Everything else, including moving a build between your own servers by exported file, is
    local. See [Working offline](/support/offline).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where is my work stored?" icon="folder">
    On your own server, in `garrysmod/data/vetra/blueprints/`. Updating or uninstalling
    Blueprints does not touch it.

    Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose Remote Deploy. See
    [Where your work is stored](/support/data).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Remote Deploy required?" icon="cloud-off">
    No. It is one of two routes. You can export a Version as a portable package file, move it
    however you like, and import it on the other server. That route never contacts our service.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many servers does one purchase cover?" icon="server">
    **Three at a time.** Blueprints deploys from one server to another, so a single-server
    licence would defeat the feature the product is named for.

    Ran out? Open a ticket and tell us which server you no longer use. No charge, no waiting
    period. See [Licensing and servers](/support/licensing).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens during an update?" icon="download">
    Replace the two addon folders and restart. Your Versions, groups and packages live in
    `garrysmod/data/` and are not touched, including your activation: the server does not
    reactivate and does not consume another slot.

    Delete the old folders rather than copying over them. If an old `vetra-framework` is left
    beside the new one, the framework does not start and the server console names both, so the
    mistake cannot go unnoticed. See [Updating](/blueprints/updating).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do my players need to install anything?" icon="users">
    No. This is a server-side install. Garry's Mod delivers the interface and its assets to
    connecting clients automatically, and the interface itself is admin-only.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I undo a restore?" icon="undo-2">
    Yes. Before the first destructive change, Blueprints captures the current world as a
    recovery Version and reads it back. Undoing a completed restore is another restore pointed at
    that recovery Version, planned by the same planner.

    A restore that fails part way rolls back on its own and verifies the rollback.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can't I restore a Version I imported from another server?" icon="file-input">
    Because the object identities inside it belong to that server, and the same id means
    something different here. Map creation ids and database row ids are numbered from the same 1
    on both machines, so restoring one would address real local objects that have nothing to do
    with the ones recorded.

    An imported Version can be inspected, compared, used as a migration source, and applied with
    [Deploy](/blueprints/deploy), which builds an explicit source-to-target mapping instead of
    assuming ids line up.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can it manage [some other addon]?" icon="puzzle">
    Not out of the box, unless someone has written an adapter for it.

    The [Adapter SDK](/sdk/overview) is public and documented, and an adapter lives in the
    addon's own code rather than in Blueprints. If you maintain an addon with objects worth
    versioning, that is the route.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will it slow my server down?" icon="gauge">
    Capturing walks the managed domains, which costs what walking them costs, and it only
    happens when you ask. Nothing polls, nothing runs on a timer, and opening the product does
    not walk the world.

    The interface is admin-only and is not drawn for players at all.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if Vetra shuts down?" icon="power-off">
    We publish a final version with licensing removed, so your installation keeps working with
    no connection and no time limit. The service stays available for at least 3 months after the
    product is withdrawn, or 1 month after that final version ships, whichever is later.

    Remote Deploy would end. Exporting a package, transferring it yourself and importing it
    elsewhere would not. See [Service availability](/support/availability).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I get support?" icon="life-buoy">
    Open a ticket on the product page. We aim to reply within 72 hours.

    Include what you did, what happened, the output of `vetra_license_status`, and your console
    log. Never post licence identifiers or server credentials; we do not need them. See
    [Getting support](/support/getting-support).
