Organise, share and export backups

Names, notes and order

• File name for restoring in the details sets the name a file gets when you download it. Names must be unique in the backup and cannot contain folders.
• Note for this file keeps a short reminder, for example “version before the kitchen redesign”.
• Backup notes above the summary keep notes about the whole backup.
• Move up and Move down change the order of the list; Remove from backup takes a file out.

Every change can be undone with Undo (Ctrl+Z) and redone with Redo (Ctrl+Y).

To remove several files, tick them and press Remove above the list. With the keyboard, move into the file list and press Delete to remove the selected files; Ctrl+A selects all files shown in the list.

Recent backups

Bundlekeep keeps your last twelve backups in this browser. Backup › Recent backups… lists them with their size and date. Open switches to one; Delete removes it from the browser only — downloaded backup files are not affected. Backup › New backup starts an empty one; the current backup stays in the list.

Share and export

• Backup › Copy backup link copies a link that contains the whole backup. It works only for small backups, and anyone who has the link can read everything in it.
• Export › Inventory (CSV) lists file names, apps, formats, sizes and SHA-256 checksums — handy for a spreadsheet or an archive record.
• Export › Restore checklist (Markdown) is the checklist from the restore tutorial.
• Backup › Print inventory prints the same table or saves it as a PDF.

Work with the other apps

Bundlekeep takes part in the App Bridge of the premium apps:

• When another app offers to open a JSON file in another app, choose Bundlekeep to add the file to your open backup.
• Send to another app… in the details, and the Export menu’s send commands, hand a project file, the inventory or the checklist to an app that accepts it.

Keyboard

Help › Keyboard shortcuts lists all keys. The single-key shortcuts A (add files), S (scan apps) and ? (this list) can be switched off there, for example if you use speech input.

Encrypt before you share

Backups are plain JSON. Help › Related tools leads to Local File Encryption Studio (password encryption in your browser), Hash & HMAC Calculator and File Format Doctor.
