## Forks information
|
||||
### Syncing backups with external cloud services
|
||||
|
||||
Some forks of **Tachiyomi** have specific limitations regarding backup restoration:
|
||||
Cross device sync in **Tachiyomi** is not planned in the future, but users can use
|
||||
[Autosync for Google Drive](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.drivesync)
|
||||
in order to sync backup files to Drive automatically with the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the app from the link above
|
||||
|
||||
2. Enable [Automatic Backups](/docs/guides/backups#enabling-automatic-backups) and set it to your desired frequency and storage location.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Download the latest backup from Google Drive and restore to whatever device you have
|
||||
|
||||
Users who are familiar with [FolderSync](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite)
|
||||
or [Tasker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm) can setup auto sync of their backups similarly
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional information for forks
|
||||
|
||||
::: warning
|
||||
This section explores some extra details regarding [forks](/forks/).
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
All [Endorsed Tachiyomi forks](/forks/) support the `.proto.gz` format to backup/restore your library
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, some forks have specific limitations regarding backup restoration:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Neko](/forks/Neko/) can only restore [MangaDex](/extensions/#all.mangadex) entries in a backup.
|
||||
> Entries from other sources will not transfer.
|
||||
- Some forks, such as [TachiyomiAZ](/forks/TachiyomiAZ/) and [TachiyomiSY](/forks/TachiyomiSY/), have built-in extensions.
|
||||
> Example: [E-Hentai](/extensions/#all.ehentai), [nHentai](/extensions/#all.nhentai), and **Hitomi.la**.
|
||||
- Restoring a backup made by these forks to standard **Tachiyomi** will not restore titles from such extensions.
|
||||
> While it is possible to restore titles to these forks, backing them up out of these forks is not possible.
|
||||
- Some forks only support restoring legacy backups and haven't implemented the changes needed for new backup formats yet.
|
||||
|
||||
> Migrate everything to MangaDex if you require to.
|
||||
- All forks have fork-specific settings and changes that might be saved in Backups.
|
||||
Such settings are not restored in original Tachiyomi and will get lost when creating a new backup.
|
||||
> For Example: [TachiyomiSY](/forks/TachiyomiSY/) has the option to backup/restore saved searches.
|
||||
|
||||
These will **NOT** be restored to original Tachiyomi or its forks.
|
||||
- Only [TachiyomiAZ](/forks/TachiyomiAZ/) supports creating/restoring legacy `.json` backups and current `.proto.gz` backups.
|
||||
> Users are recommended to update their `.json` backups to use the improved and efficient `.proto.gz` backups.
|
||||
|
||||
Be aware of these limitations when dealing with backups in different **Tachiyomi** forks.
