data can be managed manually while station switched off
most data files are text, a few are in simple binary formats. check src to read
delete/move peer folder = unpeer
move folder back        = repeer
inside the chain folders you have head and tail lists
normally theres only one head and one tail
number of chain breaks  = num_heads-num_tails
number of chain forks   = num_heads-1
