Create a snapshot
Capture a recoverable contact state before migration, cleanup, or another high-impact operation.
Cloud ContactsSee how it works
Backup and recovery
Make major contact changes with a recovery path.
Create optional cloud backups with clear transfer consent, let eligible backups continue in the background, and return later to review progress, restore a copy, or remove backups you no longer need.
For anyone preparing to merge, migrate, reorganize, or synchronize an address book they cannot afford to lose.

Synchronization is not the same as backup.
A provider may quickly synchronize an accidental edit or deletion to every device. A separate backup snapshot gives you a recovery point from before the change. Cloud Contacts keeps normal provider sync and optional cloud backup conceptually separate.
A visible recovery workflow
Continue in the background
Leave the backup page while the operation continues, then return to the same live progress state.
Control retention
Review available snapshots, restore the one you need, and remove backups from within the app.
Before, during, and after a change
- 1
Choose manual or automatic backup
Subscribers can configure automatic work and frequency; manual backup remains available when appropriate.
- 2
Monitor without blocking the app
Progress remains attached to the operation rather than to a single screen presentation.
- 3
Restore deliberately
Select the intended snapshot, review the restore context, and keep progress visible until completion.
Backup remains optional and explicit
Normal synchronization is direct with the provider. Cloud backup is a separate feature that stores an encrypted recovery snapshot when enabled.
Clear backup controls
The app identifies what is uploaded, where it is stored, and how to remove backup copies before contact data is transferred.
User-controlled frequency
Automatic schedules can be configured, reset, or disabled according to plan availability.
Recoverable progress
Backup, restore, and deletion state should remain current when you leave and revisit the page.
Questions about this workflow
Is cloud backup required for normal synchronization?
No. Normal provider synchronization and optional cloud backup are separate features.
Can a backup continue after I leave the page?
The background workflow is designed to continue while the app remains available, with progress shown again when you return.
Can I delete stored snapshots?
Yes. Backup management includes the ability to review and remove snapshots you no longer want to retain.
Start with the contacts you already have.
Connect a source, review what needs attention, and approve changes with a clear view of ownership.
