How does auto-backup work in Heptabase?

Starting December 2025, we'll no longer offer auto-local backups. But don't worry, as long as you have syncing enabled, we'll regularly perform cloud backups. They function just like local backups and won't take up your space.

​

Auto cloud backups save your data's positions, states, and metadata, but they don't include attachments.

​

To back up all your attachments, perform a manual full backup:

  1. Go to Settings → Backup.

  2. Under Export & Manual Backup, click Export Now.

  3. Save the exported file securely (e.g., cloud storage or external drive).

Tip: Back up your data manually on a regular schedule—weekly or monthly is recommended.

​

To restore backup files, follow the instructions in this article.
