Backup & transfer

Settings → Backup saves your setup (unit & Shelly, smart rules and thresholds, statistics, preferences) to a hidden app folder on your Google Drive, or exports a .vhbak file to share. Restoring merges statistics — data recorded after the backup is kept. Cloud passwords and Pro are never included; sign in again and restore purchases instead.

The backup holds settings and statistics — never passwords or API keys. It lands in the hidden app folder of your own Drive, which no other app can read.
