Use exports and backups deliberately

What to consider when creating and sharing a file.

You initiate the process

You choose when to create export and backup files and where to save them.

The destination matters too

As soon as you store a file or share it with another app, that app’s storage, synchronization and privacy rules also apply. Check destination and recipient carefully.

Full backup and portable export

A full backup contains the encrypted database and depends on the key of the existing installation. It does not guarantee restoration after reinstalling the app or on another device.

In Backup & Restore, create a portable backup with your own password and confirm the password. Select the created backup and confirm saving it to Downloads. The file stays password encrypted and contains supported nutrition, body measurement and training data, but no progress photos. Importing into a compatible, configured installation requires the original password. Keep it separately in a safe place; OptiFit cannot recover it. Old unencrypted portable ZIP or JSON files are not imported or converted.
