Backup & Import Settings

This window is for making a quick .zip backup of your current IntenseRP Next v2 config directory, or restoring one later.

Backup & Import Settings window


How to open it

  1. Open Help & Extras
  2. Click Backup / Import Settings

What gets backed up

The backup is made from your active config directory (shown at the top of the window). By default, it includes everything useful for restoring the app:

  • settings.json.enc (your encrypted settings)
  • settings.key (the encryption key for your settings)
  • appflags.json.enc and other small state files
  • playwright_profiles/ (used for Persistent Sessions)
  • accounts/ (Saved Accounts credentials and usage state)

Tip: stop services for a cleaner backup

If the browser/services are running, some profile files can be in use. For the most complete backup, click Stop in the main window first.

Customize

Click Customize to choose what Backup and Import should use:

  • Settings & State keeps your settings, app state, small caches, and similar config files.
  • Profiles keeps browser profile data used by Persistent Sessions.
  • Credentials keeps Saved Accounts data. Credentials-only backups still include settings.key internally so IntenseRP can safely re-encrypt them during import.

All three are enabled by default. Turning off Profiles can make a backup/import much faster when you only want to carry settings or accounts to another install.


Backup to .zip

  1. Click Backup to .zip
  2. Choose where to save the file
  3. Done

By default, the file name looks like:

intenserp-next-config-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip

If some files are locked, the backup can still succeed, but it may warn that it skipped files.


Import from .zip

With all Customize options enabled, Import restores a backup by replacing the contents of your active config directory, and then reloading settings automatically.

If you turn some options off, Import only updates the selected parts found in the .zip and leaves the rest of your active config directory alone.

  1. Click Import from .zip
  2. Select a backup .zip
  3. Confirm the warning
  4. Wait for the import to finish

Profiles can be locked

If Persistent Sessions are enabled and the browser/services are running, import can fail because profile files are in use. Stop services first and retry.
