Backup & Restore

Export Backup

While the majority of data that you see in Brobench is coming from Salesforce, while it is cached, it doesn't need to be backed up. However, the app does store some configuration items like Query Templates, Query History, Connections, etc.,

You can lose this data if you remove the extension and install it or if you delete the data by yourself through the app or other means. By backing up, you can keep the configuration safe and import it back later when in need.

To back up, follow these steps.

1. Click on the Profile icon in the top right corner of the app
2. Select Options, which should show the Options dialog below. Click on Export tab
3. Copy the Json and save it into some folder

Import Backup
