Backup & Restore

Checking offline availability…

Use the same browser and Mimian address where you normally see your pets. Finish any unsaved edits and close other Mimian tabs before exporting or restoring.

Export a backup

Download a private copy of your profiles, photos, medication and weight records, and Family Journal, including records left by older versions. Keep this file somewhere safe; it is not encrypted.

Original images for legacy avatars (only if needed)

Select the original files with their original filenames

Review or restore a backup

Reviewing a file changes nothing. Restore adds missing items and skips identical ones. If any existing item conflicts, restore stops without replacing it.
