Local backup

Your chats, saved on your own computer

Choose a folder and BlackCat archives your chats and media every hour while it runs. Nothing is uploaded to us, and each account's backup opens on any computer with BlackCat installed.

Questions

Where are the backups stored?

In the folder you choose on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded to Transfomind.

Does it save every old message?

It saves what the platform's web version can load and what can be downloaded at the time, so very old history or some originals may be missing. Keep important records elsewhere too.

Can I open a backup on a new computer?

Yes. Install BlackCat and use "Open account backup file" on the account's .blackcat file.
