Frequently asked questions

What AI agent data is backed up?

IDrive backs up supported data stored locally on your computer, such as conversation and chat history, supported workspace data, application and editor settings, CLI configurations and session data, extensions, and other agent-specific data. The exact data backed up depends on the AI agent.

Does IDrive back up conversations stored in the cloud?

No. IDrive backs up only supported AI agent data stored locally on your computer. Regular Claude Chat conversations and Cowork conversations are stored on Anthropic's servers and are not included in the backup. However, Claude Code conversation history stored locally on your computer is backed up and can be restored. After restoration, these conversations appear under the Code tab in the Claude Desktop application.

How do I protect my project files?

AI Agents Backup does not include working project directories, repositories, or source files. Use IDrive’s regular file and folder backup to protect them.

Why can’t I schedule a backup?

IDrive must detect files or folders related to the AI agent on your computer before you can schedule a backup. Make sure the AI agent is installed and has been used at least once.

Should I close the AI agent before restoring?

Yes. Close the AI agent application completely on the destination computer before starting the restore. For the Cline VS Code extension, close VS Code. For the Cline desktop application, also end any running ‘bun’ process (cline-cli.exe) in Windows Task Manager.

Can I restore my data to another computer?

Yes. After restoring, sign in to Claude, Cursor, or Codex with the same account used on the source computer, or reconnect your AI provider in Cline. For Claude and Cursor, the destination computer must run the same operating system.
