Backup and restore

RoboBill backs up every night (10 pm by default) and keeps the newest two. Copy a backup to a USB drive, restore one, and on paid plans keep encrypted restore points in the cloud. Year-end close and the integrity check are here too.

This guide is for RoboBill 0.2, coming November 2026. Today's release is 0.1.1.
