Personal backup and restore

Protect a private backup that can include originals, then review it before restoring.

Steps

1. Open Settings & my data, then choose Create encrypted backup.
2. Enter and repeat a strong password. Store it separately; no server can recover it.
3. Keep the app open while files are checked, archived, encrypted, and saved. Select an external destination only when the system share sheet opens.
4. To restore, choose Restore a backup, select the `.rehearsebackup` file, and enter its password.
5. Review project, practice, and media counts. Choose Merge to keep current data, or Replace only after reading the rollback warning.

What to expect

Merge adds non-conflicting content. Replace uses the backup as the active library and keeps a local rollback copy. The device PIN and store purchase rights do not come from the backup.

If it does not work

• A wrong password, damaged file, checksum mismatch, ID conflict, insufficient space, or interrupted operation stops without silently overwriting current data.
• If cleanup or final save is pending, keep the app open or follow the shown restart instructions before treating restore as complete.
• The private archive ceiling is 1 GiB, up to 1,000 file references and 10,000 records. Split a larger backup; content is not truncated.
