Venice Chat Backup and Restore

Encrypted Backups are a Pro feature. You create and restore them in the Venice web app. The iOS and Android apps do not manage them.

To create one, open the chat history drawer, select your profile, and select Backup Chat History.

On your device, Venice encrypts your data with a password that only you control. The encrypted backup is broken into chunks and uploaded to Venice's infrastructure. Later, on another logged-in web device, you can download that backup and restore it. You can overwrite your existing history or merge it.

Venice does not have a record of the password. If you lose it, the backup cannot be recovered. You can keep up to 5 backups at the same time. Each backup expires after 90 days.

Pro is $18 a month on the pricing page. Pro Plus and Max include it too.

Tl;dr

Encrypted Backups are Pro, and you manage them in the Venice web app.
Open the chat history drawer, select your profile, and select Backup Chat History.
Your password encrypts the data on your device. Venice uploads the encrypted chunks and does not keep the password.
Restore on another logged-in web device. Overwrite your existing history, or merge it.
You can keep 5 backups at once. Each one expires after 90 days.

How do you create an encrypted backup?

Use the web app while you are logged in on a Pro account.

Open the chat history drawer.
Select your profile.
Select Backup Chat History.
Set a password you can keep. Venice does not store that password, so a lost password means that backup cannot be recovered.

Make the backup before you clear the browser or move to another computer. Day-to-day chat history still lives in the browser. On the default model, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Uncensored, Venice does not log those conversations and does not train on your inputs. The encrypted backup is the copy you can move.

How do you restore an encrypted backup?

On another logged-in web device, download the backup and restore it. You choose whether the restore overwrites your existing history or merges with it.

The backup has to be one of your 5 current backups, and it has to be younger than 90 days. You need the same password you set when you created it.

The iOS and Android app does not create or restore these backups. Do that in the web app.

What should you do if the thread is still missing?

Open the Venice web app, not the mobile app.
Confirm the account is Pro or above.
Confirm the backup is still inside the 90-day window, and that you are under the limit of 5 backups.
Restore with the password you set. Choose overwrite or merge.
If you never made a backup, or the password is gone, that history cannot be recovered. Continue in Agentic Chat.

You can also import ChatGPT memories, the preferences and context ChatGPT stored. Look for Import Memory in settings or profile. Those imported memories stay on-device. Venice does not import full chat logs from other platforms.
