# Backup & Restore

Under **Settings → Modules → Vizpad → Backup & Restore**, you can browse the backup runs produced by the schedule set on the **Export & Scheduling** page. Backups are organized into folders by timestamp, and opening a folder shows its ZIP files on the next step.

#### Backup period

Filter the list by start and end date. Two fields, **From** and **to**, each with a date picker.

* Only the dates are used. Time of day is ignored.
* Each day is your local calendar day. Tellius converts these to UTC bounds before sending them to the server, so you don't need to adjust for timezone yourself.
* Pagination applies within the filtered result set, not across all backups.

#### Backup folders

Lists the backup folders that fall within the selected period. Click a folder to open it and see its ZIP files.

* When no backups exist in the chosen range, the area reads: *No backup folders in this period. Try widening the date range.* If you expected backups and see this message, check the schedule on **Export & Scheduling** before widening the range.
* Selecting a backup folder opens **Backed up Files**, showing the ZIP archives produced by that run.
* Each row shows the archive name and its file size. Archive names combine the Vizpad name with a unique identifier, so several backups of similarly named Vizpads stay distinguishable.
* Click **Download** on any row to save that ZIP file to your device. Archives are downloaded one at a time.
* Use **Back to backup folders** at the top left to return to the folder list and pick a different run.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.tellius.com/settings/vizpad/backup-and-restore.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
