Backup & Restore¶
Protect your portfolio data by regularly creating backups. AssetFlow exports all your data to a single ZIP file that can be restored at any time.
Creating a Backup¶
- Open Settings (Cmd+,) and go to the Data Management section.
- Click Export Backup.
- Choose a location and filename in the save dialog.
- A ZIP file is created containing all your portfolio data.
What's Included¶
A backup file contains everything in your portfolio:
- All snapshots and their asset values
- All assets, categories, and platforms
- All cash flow operations
- Exchange rate data
- App settings
Restoring from Backup¶
- Open Settings (Cmd+,) and go to the Data Management section.
- Click Restore from Backup.
- Select a backup ZIP file.
- Confirm the restore — this replaces all current data.
- After restore, exchange rates are automatically re-fetched for all snapshots.

Warning
Restoring from a backup replaces ALL current data. This action cannot be undone. Make sure to export a backup of your current data first if you want to keep it.
Tip
Create regular backups, especially before major changes to your portfolio data. Store backups in a safe location like an external drive or cloud storage.
