Backup + Import

Move your log without losing the plot.

Your Training Bud Pro imports and exports full JSON backups. Full imports replace local data, so export first when in doubt. For AI plan changes, use Training Passport.

Expected Shape

One full dossier.

For full backup restore, Your Training Bud expects the same structure it exports: profile, barbells, plates, programs, training days, exercises, substitutions, sessions, performances, and journal entries.
