A Lognote backup is a local ZIP archive containing the database, note images, attachments, and validation metadata. It is independent from Cloud Sync.

Create and protect a backup

  1. Open Settings > Backup and choose Export database.
  2. Wait for the archive to finish, then save or share it to a location you control.
  3. Use Manage Auto-Backups to review the locally retained automatic archives.
Automatic backups run daily by default and retain the four most recent local archives.
A backup can contain private note content and media. Store and share the ZIP accordingly.

Restore a backup

  1. Open Settings > Backup and choose Import database, or select an available automatic backup.
  2. Choose the Lognote ZIP and let the app check that it contains a database and metadata with a compatible database version.
  3. Read the destructive confirmation and continue only if you want the backup to replace the local SQLite database, note images, and attachments.
Restore does not replace every other local app preference or the authentication state on the device.
Restore cannot be undone. Create a fresh backup of the current local database and media before replacing them.
