# Backup/Restore (Normal)

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you have an app that crashes on open using this method or run into other issues you can try the [Stealth backup](/scarlet/backup-restore-stealth.md) option.
{% endhint %}

### Steps

1. Go to the "Modify IPA" menu in Scarlet
2. Select "Enable Backup/Restore"
3. Hit Apply at the bottom

You may now backup your app at any point by simply pressing on the app icon on your homescreen and clicking "Backup". This will let you select where to save the ".scripa" backup file.

To restore all you need to do is use the normal Scarlet sideload button on your backup file and it'll install the app with all it's contents.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.usescarlet.com/scarlet/backup-restore-normal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
