Export and backup

1Formats

The Linkivo format keeps everything (folders, tags, points, flags, details) and re-imports in seconds. PDF, Excel, CSV, JSON, TXT, Markdown, bookmarks HTML, printable HTML and OPML are for other tools. The PDF has a heading per folder and every link is clickable.

2Protect a backup

• In the export popup choose the Linkivo format and turn on "Protect with a passphrase". The file is encrypted on your device (it ends in .linkivo.enc.json).
• Import it like any backup: Linkivo asks for the passphrase. A lost passphrase can not be recovered by anyone, so keep it somewhere safe.

3Reminders and good habits

• Settings > Import, export and backup > Backup reminder: Off, weekly, every 2 weeks or monthly. It asks once a day at most, guests too.
• Make a Linkivo backup now and then, especially as a guest: a guest's links live only on that device.
• Locked folders are never written into an export, even while unlocked, because a file would be an unlocked copy.
