Protect your model metadata (tags, notes, print status, etc.) with automatic backup and restore functionality for all *-munchie.json files. Backups now also include your Collections stored in data/collections.json.
- Go to Settings → Backup & Restore
- Click "Create Backup"
- A compressed
.gzfile will download automatically
- Go to Settings → Backup & Restore
- Choose a restore strategy:
- Hash Match (recommended): Matches files by content, works even if files were moved
- Path Match: Only restores files at original locations (safest)
- Force Restore: Restores all files, creating directories as needed
- Click "Restore from File" and select your backup
- Collections restore strategy:
- Merge (default): Combine with existing collections by id (backup wins for conflicts; new items get ids if missing)
- Replace: Overwrite existing
data/collections.jsonwith the backup version
- Regular Protection: Create weekly backups before major changes
- File Reorganization: Use Hash Match to restore metadata after moving files
- Disaster Recovery: Use Force Restore to completely rebuild from backup
- Conservative Updates: Use Path Match to only update existing files
- Creates compressed
.gzarchives (80-90% size reduction) - Uses MD5 hashes for reliable file matching
- Supports both
.gzand.jsonbackup formats - Backs up metadata files and collections; not the actual 3MF/STL model files
- All operations are local - no data sent to external servers
