This article is about the Linked Helper's backup function. As you already know from this article, Linked Helper is not a cloud solution and stores most of the data locally on your computer. Each LinkedIn account has its own database file.
It means that you need to create a backup file in case you want to move Linked Helper with LinkedIn account data on another computer or if you need to clear hard drive space, reinstall your operating system, etc.
Important: restoring a backup file overwrites all current data for a LinkedIn account on a certain computer, meaning that if you restore an old backup file on LinkedIn account, all current data will be deleted and replaced with the one in the old backup file.
To create a backup file, please:
- Open Linked Helper Launcher;
- Navigate to LinkedIn accounts menu;
- Hover mouse over LinkedIn account;
- Stop instance if needed and click Backup button:
- Choose Export and save the file to your Desktop.
To restore from a backup file:
Important: when a backup file is imported, current data will be overwritten.
- Open Linked Helper Launcher;
- Navigate to LinkedIn accounts menu;
- Hover mouse over LinkedIn account;
- Stop instance if needed and click Backup button;
- Click Import and choose a backup file from your PC:
Logs & data for developers
