Backup & Restore Troubleshooting

Resolve common issues when creating or restoring a backup.

If a backup or restore does not work as expected, try these general steps.

General checks

  • Make sure HerpClutch is up to date.
  • Confirm your device has enough free storage for the backup file.
  • Confirm HerpClutch has any permissions it needs to read or save files.
  • Make sure you selected a valid HerpClutch backup file.
  • Close and reopen the app, then try again.

A restore does not complete

  • Confirm the backup file has not been moved, renamed, or edited. Backup files are not meant to be modified by hand.
  • If the backup was created on a much older or newer app version, there may be a version compatibility difference.

If a restore still fails, avoid repeated attempts that could affect your current records, and reach out to Support for help.
