+# Backup nightTab setup
+
+nightTab is privacy first extension and does not save any user data on a remote database. For this reason if nightTab is uninstalled your start page bookmarks, settings and theme will also be removed.
+
+For this reason you should frequently backup your settings. This can easily be done from the ![Settings](image/icon/settings.svg) `Menu` > `Data` > `Backup` > `Export Data`.
+
+
+A backup [JSON](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Objects/JSON#no_really_what_is_json) file will be saved to your computer. This backup file will be named with a data and timestamp for easy reference, e.g. `nightTab backup - 2021.08.16 - 09 10 29.json`.
+
+You can use this backup file to restore your settings on any device with nightTab installed.
+
+To restore your setup go to ![Settings](image/icon/settings.svg) `Menu` > `Data` > `Restore` > `Import Data`. Then select the previously exported backup JSON file.

+# Local background image upload is no longer supported
+
+_This change was made in nightTab 7.0.0_
+
+Allowing a user to upload local images has its benefits but also many drawbacks and issues.
+
+As a rule, nightTab does not store any user data on a remote database. As such any image file uploaded to use as background has to be stored on the client side in local storage (in the browser cache). This [storage has a limit](https://github.com/zombieFox/nightTab/issues/93#issuecomment-679922767) (which varies between browsers) of about 5MB.
+
+Images can very easily exceed 5MB in size. Which is a problem when the same storage is used to save user settings: the layout, bookmarks and theme settings. When this happens the browser throws an error and nightTab can’t function as expected.
+
+[Other issues with image file support](https://github.com/zombieFox/nightTab/issues/69#issuecomment-522295606) continue to appear. Some images just fail to load.
+
+For the reasons above the local image background controls have been dropped from the feature set.
+
+nightTab still supports linking to image files via a URL. Just paste one or more URLs into the Theme Background input to change the background image. This method is the most reliable and uses the least amount of storage space.
