Get a backup moving again
Start with the common checks below. Include the desktop app version and approximate failure time when contacting support.
A backup is taking too long
Check whether the selected source contains large temporary directories. Exclude caches and verify available upload bandwidth.
A restore or backup is locked
Check the subscription state and storage meter in the dashboard. Restores and encrypted repository traffic are free; a backup may pause when the optimized repository is full or while SaveState reclaims expired data.
A subscription expired
SaveState-managed backups have three days of restore-only access, then are permanently deleted. Customer-owned bucket objects remain with your provider. Sign in to the desktop app and reconnect that existing repository in Settings to restore; new backups require an eligible active plan.
The dashboard signed out
Sign in again. A 401 response invalidates the local session token; other API errors leave the session intact.
