Back up your rental notebook before you need it
Understand the device boundary, keep a private export, and test recovery with care.
Browser storage can make a small rental notebook convenient: open the page, make a change, and return to the saved record later. That convenience is not the same as a cloud account or a backup. Know where the records live before relying on them as your only copy.
Understand the storage boundary
Property Management MCP's free notebook saves in the browser profile on the current device. Another browser, profile, device, or website origin has a different notebook. Clearing site data, using a private browsing session, losing the device, or a storage problem can remove access to the records. Anyone who can use the same browser profile may be able to open them.
Download a backup after important changes and keep it in a private location you can recover independently of the device. The export contains current home, renter, and repair records, so treat it as personal information. Do not post it publicly, attach it to an unrelated support request, or assume a familiar filename means it contains harmless sample data.
Make backup a short routine
- Save the current edits and wait for confirmed completion.
- Download the backup and check that the file is available.
- Store it securely with a clear date in your own filing system.
- Keep a previous useful copy according to your retention needs.
- Test restoration carefully in a separate appropriate environment.
The notebook's backup contains the current records, not its local save history. A downloaded file also does not automatically populate a paid Landlord MCP account. Keep those boundaries clear when planning a move to another tool.
Review before restoring
Restoring a backup replaces the current notebook with the validated records you review. Export the current notebook first if you need to preserve it. Check the home, renter, and repair list shown in the review, especially when several similar backup files exist. A technically valid file may still be the wrong version for your purpose.
A practical recovery test
Use a separate browser profile with no important existing notebook, restore a synthetic or appropriately protected backup, and confirm the expected records. Return to your normal profile without overwriting it. The value of a backup is the ability to recover the right information, not simply the presence of a download in a folder.
