Cloud Project Backups in Voloco – Help Center

Never lose a recording again. Voloco's Project Backups feature automatically saves your projects to the cloud, so you can access your work on any device. This feature is new in Voloco 9.13.

What Gets Backed Up

Backups work with Projects only. These are the full recording sessions you create in Voloco's main recording interface. This includes:

All vocal and instrumental tracks
Applied effects and processing
Project settings and arrangements
Cover art

Note: Quick Recordings and Videos are not included in cloud backups.

How Auto Backup Works

Once enabled, Voloco automatically backs up your projects in the background. No manual action required. Auto backup runs at various times while the app is open, as well as in the background to ensure your latest content is protected.

Your most recently modified projects are backed up first.

Important: Auto Backup will not run while you're actively recording or in Performance Mode, so it never interferes with your creative workflow.

Managing Auto Backup Settings

You have full control over when and how backups run:

Open Settings in the Voloco app
Scroll to the Projects section
Toggle Auto Backup on or off
Toggle Backup on Cellular if you want backups to run when not connected to Wi-Fi (off by default to save mobile data)

Understanding Cloud Status Icons

Each project in your Library shows an icon indicating its backup status:

Icon	Description	What It Means
	Cloud + checkmark	Your project's current version is safely backed up
	Cloud + slash	This project exists on your device but hasn't been backed up yet
	Cloud (plain)	A cloud backup is available. Either the project does not exist on your device, or does exist on your device and is different from the version in the cloud
	Spinner	Backup or restore currently in progress
	Cloud + exclamation	Backup or restore encountered an error

Backing Up Projects Manually

While Auto Backup handles most situations, you can also back up projects manually:

In your Library, find the project you want to back up
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) on the project
Select Back up project

Manual backups take priority over automatic backups.

Backup Limits and Quota

Your backup quota depends on your subscription:

Voloco Premium subscribers: Up to 20 project backups
Project Backup add-on subscribers: Up to 1,000 project backups
Non-subscribers: Backup features are not available

Check your current usage in Settings > Projects > Backups Used.

What Happens When You Reach Your Limit

When you've used all available backup slots:

Existing backed-up projects remain safe and accessible
New projects won't automatically back up
To back up new projects, you'll need to delete an existing backup or upgrade your subscription

Note: If you have Voloco Premium (20 backups), you'll see a crown icon on "Back up project" for projects that aren't yet backed up, indicating you can upgrade to the Project Backup add-on for up to 1,000 backups.

Restoring Projects from Cloud

Restore a Single Project:

To restore a project from your cloud backups:

In your Library, find the project you want to restore
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) on the project
Select Restore backup
Wait for the restore to complete before opening the project

Important: Restoring a project will overwrite any local version you have on your device with the cloud version. Make sure the cloud backup contains the version you want before restoring.

Restore All Cloud Projects:

To restore all your cloud backups at once:

Open Settings
Tap Restore your backups
All cloud projects will be queued for restore

Important: Restores happen one at a time in the order you requested them. If a project already exists on your device, restoring will overwrite it with the cloud version.

Using Backups Across Multiple Devices

Project Backups sync across all devices signed in to your Voloco account:

Projects backed up on your phone appear on your tablet (and vice versa)
Your backup quota is shared across all devices
The Library refreshes automatically when you open the app or switch to the Library tab
You may also pull to refresh on the Library tab to fetch the latest project backup list from the cloud

Editing the Same Project on Multiple Devices

If you edit the same project on two different devices:

The most recent cloud backup automatically becomes the active version
No manual conflict resolution needed - the most recent backup wins.
Make sure to let backups complete before switching devices for the smoothest experience

Deleting Projects with Backups

When you delete a project that has a cloud backup, both the local project and the cloud backup are deleted.

Voloco will always show you a confirmation dialog before deleting, so you won't lose backups by accident. Deleting a project with a backup frees up one backup slot in your quota for new projects.

Troubleshooting:

My project won't back up

Check these common issues:

No subscription: Backups require Voloco Premium or the Project Backup add-on
Quota reached: Delete unused backups or upgrade to increase your limit
No internet connection: Backups require an active internet connection
Project is open: Close the project to allow backup to proceed

Backup failed (cloud + exclamation icon)

Backup failures can happen due to network interruptions or connectivity issues. Voloco will automatically retry failed backups up to 3 times. If the issue persists:

Check your internet connection
Manually retry the backup using the project's three-dot menu
If the problem continues, contact Voloco support

Restore failed

If a restore fails:

Check your internet connection and try again
If using "Restore All," Voloco will skip the failed project and continue with others
Some very old backups may be incompatible with the current app version. You'll see a message if this is the case. Update to the latest version of Voloco and retry.
Manually retry the restore using the project's three-dot menu

My cloud icons aren't showing

Cloud status icons only appear when:

You're signed in to your Voloco account
You have either Voloco Premium or the Project Backup subscription

If you meet both requirements and still don't see icons, try signing out and back in.
