Restore a backup

Why restore?

Three situations: the listing was deleted by mistake, the item sold and you bought an identical one, or you want to move a listing from one of your Vinted accounts to another. In all three, the backup saves you retyping everything and redoing the photos.

How to do it

From the Backups table, a row's menu; or pick Restore to Vinted above the table then tick, for several. The dialog asks for the destination Vinted account — which need not be the original one — and recreates a draft with the backed-up photos.

Moving it to another account

Restoring to another profile moves the backup onto that account, which becomes its owner. The table's "Account" column follows.

What happens while it runs

Vintex reads the detail of the selected backups in a single call, then creates one draft per backup: photos re-uploaded, then the listing created. Each line in the task centre shows the step it is on.

An Incomplete backup is skipped, not half-restored: it shows as skipped with its reason in the summary. A draft is never created with photos missing.
