What you'll learn

  • Why backups matter for browser-stored data
  • What a backup includes
  • How to restore, and merge vs. replace

Before you start

  • The progress you want to protect already saved in this browser.
  • Somewhere safe to keep a backup file (cloud storage or a backup folder).

Step by step

  1. Why backing up matters

    SwingVantage saves your data in your browser. If you clear your browser history, switch devices, or update your browser, your data could be lost. A backup file keeps your progress safe.

  2. Downloading a backup

    Tap "Download Backup" to save a complete copy of your SwingVantage data to your device. Keep this file somewhere safe — like cloud storage or a backup folder.

  3. What the backup includes

    Your backup includes all sessions, shot data, equipment profiles, sport profiles, video analysis results, training progress, badges, XP, challenge history, and app settings.

  4. Encrypting your backup

    You can add password protection to your backup file. Encrypted backups are more secure, but if you forget your password, the data cannot be recovered. Keep your password somewhere safe.

  5. Restoring from backup

    To restore your data, tap "Select Backup File" under Restore from Backup. Choose your backup file and SwingVantage will show you a preview of what will be restored before you confirm.

  6. Merge vs. Replace

    "Merge" adds new records from the backup to your existing data without deleting anything. "Replace" clears your current data and restores everything from the backup. Use Merge unless you want a full reset.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming your progress is safe because it "just works".

    Your data lives in this browser — download a backup so it survives a cleared cache or new device.

Trust & accuracy

SwingVantage is honest about certainty: findings are labeled by how they were produced and how confident they are. Treat them as a strong starting point you confirm with your own retest, not a final verdict.

Frequently asked

Where is my data stored?

In your browser by default, and in your account when you’re signed in. Download a backup so your progress survives a cleared cache or a device change.
