Backup dials data

☁️ Using free cloud account

Simply create cloud account here:
https://group-speed-dial.fastaddons.com/

And your dials data will be always backed up in the cloud.
Plus you will be able to access your dials through Cloud Dials page even from your phone.

ℹ️ TIP: Thumbnails synchronization has to be manually enabled in the Options page / Thumbnails tab

Privacy / Security

As you can read in the privacy policy, I'm not sharing any users data with any 3rd party.
The cloud server is hosted at a professional Europe VPS provider Tilaa in Netherlands.


💾 Manually by exporting your dials data to a file

To create full backup of your dials data, click the "Export all" button in the Options page / Import backup tab:

backup_create_import

To restore your dials data, load the backup file using the "Import backup file" below.

ℹ️ When you click "Export all" button for the first time, you will be prompted to allow downloads permission:

📂 Automatic local backups

You can also setup automatic local backups. This feature slightly differs across browsers:

Firefox / Brave

Your automatic backups can be created only in your default "Downloads" folder, in a specified folder - by default called "gsd":

automatic_local_backups

Chrome / Chromium based browsers

Automatic backups can be created in any directory on your disk (for example one in your Google Drive).

automatic_local_backups_chrome

ℹ️ Chrome requires extra "Edit files" permission for the folder you choose.
Additionally, Chrome will likely "forget" the permission and will re-prompt you when the automatic backup is scheduled:
