[https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360010668340](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360010668340) states: ### Create a backup manually A backup can be created manually by navigating to `More (...)` → `Backups` in the Homey app. I don’t see the backup button on my iPad. Is it only available on my Mac? ![IMG_2859](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/5/f5b4ab23e2fba6a0099b0381153ae451022ec4fe.jpeg) ---

Then you’re looking in the wrong place, local backups need to be made using the USB tool website: > **[Connecting Homey Pro (Early 2023) to a PC / Mac with USB](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-Early-2023-to-a-PC-Mac-with-USB)** > > Homey Pro (Early 2023) can be connected to a PC or Mac for various tasks: > > Create a Local Backup > Restore a Local Backup > Updating Software > Factory Resetting > > > To start, unplug Homey Pro (Early 2023)... ---

There is only one account, so I am logged in as owner. Verified that under Fmily & Guests. Do you have a screen print with the local backup button.? ---

> [@Rmb](#): > > with the local backup button.? That local changes the question, but it does not exist… After the subscription you can also **Create a (cloud) backup manually** and/or disable/enable the automatic cloud backups. ![Screenshot_20231020_171821_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/1/11be3740f95c8bdd664cd5ed9a966e0b0c82acff.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20231020_171836_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/3/f30bf35c410e8b55f095068e12d5e05f90a0b43d.jpeg)
