Backup & restore

Overview

Your library lives in your browser. If something happens to the browser, or you remove the extension, you lose your tracks, playlists and settings. Backups protect against that. You can also export a backup and restore it onto a different device — handy when you switch computers.

Automatic backups

TrackDen can create backup files for you on a recurring schedule. Once enabled, snapshots land in your downloads folder without any clicks from you.

Enabling automatic backups

1. Open Settings → Backup & restore.
2. Toggle Automatic backups on.
3. Pick a frequency:
   • Daily — every 24 hours
   • Weekly — every 7 days
   • Monthly — every 30 days
4. Click Save.

You’ll see a notification when each backup completes.

Backup warnings

If more than 30 days have passed since your last backup, TrackDen shows a warning banner on the dashboard reminding you to take one. This is your nudge to keep the schedule honest.

Manual backup

A manual backup is the same thing on demand. The file lands in your downloads folder.

1. Open Settings → Backup & restore.
2. Click Export backup.
3. Move the file from your downloads folder somewhere safe.

Restoring a backup

Upload a backup file and choose what to bring back.

1. Open Settings → Backup & restore.
2. Click Restore backup.
3. Upload your backup file.
4. Pick what to restore:
   • Songs — import the tracks from the backup
   • Playlists — import the playlists
   • Settings — overwrite your preferences
   • Overwrite existing data — wipe the current library and replace it with the backup contents
5. Click Submit.
