Backup

ShotGlide stores all data locally on your device. To keep your work safe, export backups regularly.

Export a project

To export a project, open the project you want to export:

• Project → Open Sidebar → Settings → Backup & Restore → Export this project

This creates a backup file containing all project data: scenes, scene order, shot order, linked shots, parked shots, drawings, and images. It saves your project in its exact state at the time of backup.

Save your backup file to a location of your choice on your iPad.

Import a project

This lets you import a project from a backup file previously exported from ShotGlide.

You can import a project from:

• Dashboard → Backup & Restore → Import project from backup

• Project → Open Sidebar → Settings → Backup & Restore → Import project from backup

Then:

• Select a project backup file

• Review and confirm

• The app will reload and the imported project will appear in you dashboard

Export a full app backup

You can export a full app backup from:

• Dashboard → Backup & Restore → Export full backup

• Project → Open Sidebar → Settings → Backup & Restore → Export full backup

This creates a backup file containing all app data: projects, scenes, scene order, shot order, linked shots, parked shots, drawings, and images. It saves your app in its exact state at the time of backup.

Save your backup file to a location of your choice on your iPad.

Restore a full app backup

This lets you return to an earlier state, recover your work, or move it to a new device.

You can restore a full app backup from:

• Dashboard → Backup & Restore → Restore from backup

• Project → Open Sidebar → Settings → Backup & Restore → Restore from backup

Then:

• Select a backup file

• Review and confirm

Warning

• Restore replaces all current data in the app

• All data created after the backup will be lost

• This action cannot be undone

• We recommend exporting a backup of your current data before restoring
