Enabling Media Backup
Permanent Media Backup is an opt-in feature. It does not activate automatically — you choose when to enable it.
Requirements
- An active Pro or Lifetime subscription
- The Savebase browser extension installed
Free plan
Free users can save from up to two core social platforms, plus external web links. Eligible social media uses the platform's captured CDN URLs; Permanent Media Backup is available after upgrading to Pro.
Enable from Settings
Go to Settings → Service in your Savebase dashboard. Under the "Permanent Media Backup" section, click Enable Backup. This turns on backup for all future saves and triggers a one-time backfill of your existing posts.
Disabling Backup
You can disable backup at any time from Settings → Service. When disabled:
- New posts will use temporary platform CDN links (no permanent copies created)
- Existing backed-up objects are not deleted when you disable future backup
- You can re-enable backup at any time
