# 001 — Why backing up an agent is so hard
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Research in progress
|
||||
**Tags:** Technical, Backups, DevOps
|
||||
|
||||
## Research notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Real filesystem changes after one week of work on a Linux agent
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
504.6M ./usr
|
||||
43.3M ./var
|
||||
448.9M ./root
|
||||
54.0K ./etc
|
||||
996.8M .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Most users only back up the home directory (`/root` = 448.9M). But over half the changes live outside it — `/usr` (504.6M) and `/var` (43.3M) contain installed packages, pip/npm global installs, database files, logs, and system configs. A naive home-dir-only backup misses 55% of what changed.
|
||||
|
||||
At restore time, you get your config back but the agent won't run — missing dependencies, missing system packages, missing database files.
|
||||
|
||||
### What this means for the post
|
||||
|
||||
- Agent environments are not just config files — they're full Linux systems with packages, services, and state scattered everywhere
|
||||
- "Backup your home directory" is dangerously incomplete advice for AI agents
|
||||
- Derez.ai's full-disk snapshot approach is the right solution
|
||||
- This is a strong selling point: the agent works after restore, not just the config
|
||||
|
||||
### Next data points
|
||||
|
||||
Oliver will do two more memory analysis snapshots after running the speed-run setups (Odoo + Cold Email). Those will show how much additional state those integrations add.
|
||||
|
||||
### Outline
|
||||
|
||||
1. The sprawl problem — why agents are harder to back up than a standard server
|
||||
*Include the filesystem analysis table*
|
||||
2. What a real agent backup needs to capture
|
||||
3. How Borg/deduplicated snapshots solve it
|
||||
4. How Derez.ai does it automatically (one-click restore)
|
||||
5. Best practices for users
|
||||
6. Better save than sorry — the selling point

# 002 — Cold email at scale: from one-off to campaign
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Idea
|
||||
**Tags:** Marketing, Cold Email, Automation
|
||||
|
||||
## Research notes
|
||||
|
||||
- We already have a cold email speed-run post — this would be the "next level"
|
||||
- Moving from single emails to sequenced campaigns
|
||||
- Follow-ups, A/B testing, reply detection
|
||||
- CRM integration for tracking
|
||||
|
||||
## Outline
|
||||
|
||||
1. Why one-off cold emails leave money on the table
|
||||
2. Building a sequence: intro → follow-up 1 → follow-up 2 → breakup
|
||||
3. Using Hermes Agent tools for reply detection and routing
|
||||
4. Measuring open rates, reply rates, conversion
|
||||
5. Tying into a CRM (Odoo?) for pipeline tracking

# 003 — Odoo + AI agent: beyond the speed run
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Idea
|
||||
**Tags:** Odoo, Integration, CRM
|
||||
|
||||
## Research notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The speed-run post shows a basic Odoo connection
|
||||
- This post goes deeper: actual workflows that save time
|
||||
- Inventory alerts, automated invoice follow-ups, lead scoring
|
||||
|
||||
## Outline
|
||||
|
||||
1. Recap: what the speed run covered
|
||||
2. Real use cases:
|
||||
- auto-follow-up on stale leads
|
||||
- inventory low-stock alerts via email/Slack
|
||||
- monthly sales report generated and emailed
|
||||
3. Combining Odoo tools with Hermes Agent skills
|
||||
4. Security: creating a restricted Odoo user for the agent
|
||||
5. Next steps for readers
