# Lost data after updating Proxyman app? > Lost your Proxyman rules or settings after an update? Restore Map Local, Scripting, Breakpoint and other data from Proxyman's automatic backup folder. ## Problem After updating the app to the latest version, you might see that: * Your data, including all debugging tool rules (Map Local, Scripting, Breakpoint, SSL Proxying List, ...) and user settings, is wiped out. > **Note:** Proxyman makes sure your data **is never lost**. Still, it's good to have a backup of your valuable data ⚡️. ## How to recover 1. Open the backup folder at `~/Library/Application Support/com.proxyman.NSProxy/user-data-backups` 2. Unzip the latest backup file. (In Finder, sort by "Date Added" to find the latest backup.) 3. Copy each folder from the backup to the app folder at `~/Library/Application Support/com.proxyman.NSProxy` For instance:

and more...
A backup contains the `user-data`, `map-local`, `scripts` and `users` folders. > **Note:** If you use Proxyman from Setapp, the app folder is `~/Library/Application Support/com.proxyman.NSProxy-setapp`. ## When does Proxyman back up my data? After you update Proxyman to a newer version, Proxyman backs up your current data and saves it to `~/Library/Application Support/com.proxyman.NSProxy/user-data-backups`. To make your own backup at any time, use **Tools** -> **Import / Export Settings** -> **Export (Backup)…**. See [Import / Export Settings](https://proxyman.com/docs/basic-features/import-export-settings).
