+# Hermes Profile Backup & Restore SOP
+> Draft by Quill — verifiable, no stub steps.
+
+## Scope
+Portable backup and restore of a single Hermes profile using filesystem operations only. Target: `/root/.hermes/profiles/quill/`.
+
+## Prereqs
+- The profile directory exists.
+- `tar` and `gzip` are available (present on this host: verified via `command -v tar` and `command -v gzip`).
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Create backup archive
+```bash
+PROFILE_DIR="/root/.hermes/profiles/quill"
+BACKUP_DIR="/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/quill/backups"
+TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
+ARCHIVE="$BACKUP_DIR/quill-profile-$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz"
+
+mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
+tar -czf "$ARCHIVE" -C "$(dirname "$PROFILE_DIR")" "$(basename "$PROFILE_DIR")"
+```
+Success: archive file exists and is non-empty. Measured: `$ARCHIVE` size > 0.
+
+### 2. Verify archive integrity
+```bash
+tar -tzf "$ARCHIVE" > /dev/null
+```
+Success: exit code 0. Measured: `$?` == 0.
+
+### 3. Restore from archive
+```bash
+RESTORE_TARGET="/tmp/quill-profile-restore-test"
+rm -rf "$RESTORE_TARGET"
+mkdir -p "$RESTORE_TARGET"
+tar -xzf "$ARCHIVE" -C "$RESTORE_TARGET"
+```
+Success: restored directory exists. Measured: `[ -d "$RESTORE_TARGET/quill" ]`.
+
+### 4. Verify restored content
+```bash
+diff -r "/root/.hermes/profiles/quill" "$RESTORE_TARGET/quill"
+```
+Success: no differences (exit code 0). Measured: `$?` == 0.
+
+## Verification
+A working backup/restore produces an archive with identical contents to the live profile.
