Back up history, setup, and photos

What a backup keeps

It gathers restore data including history, exercises, routines, custom fields, machines, bodyweight, and photos. Its purpose differs from ordinary CSV/JSON exports and external-record import files. Purchases are restored through Google Play, not transferred in the backup.

Saving a restore backup and its contents.

How to use it in a workout

Save your current records too
Before restoring, back up your current data in “More” → Backup and restore.
Choose the restore file
Open Restore and select the backup you want with the file picker.
Read what will be replaced
Review the contents in the preview. Check that the records and photos you need are included before restoring.
Check the result and records
Read the completion result and recovery report, then open and compare history, photos, and settings from representative dates.

Keep a copy outside the device

Choose a destination, export, and check that the file exists. If it stays only on the device, a failure may lose both copies, so copy it to a PC or elsewhere too. If unreadable photos were skipped, read the count and explanation.

Restoring replaces current data

Restoration differs from an ordinary import that adds some external records. Back up current history first, then review the selected file, counts, photos, and other contents in the preview before proceeding. If a workout is in progress, follow the screen instructions.

After restoring, inspect representative records

Early, middle, and recent dates, with set counts, weight, and reps.
Left/right values, saved custom fields, and machines.
Exercises, routines, bodyweight, and photos.
Any items named in reports of missing photos or other problems.

Restoration does not invent information absent from an older file. It may remove information needed to undo previous imports, making those imports no longer reversible.

Save and restore with Free

Saving and restoring backups is available with Free. You can protect your records after returning to Free too. Restoring saved custom values and creating new fields or entering new values have different plan requirements.
