Backup and encryption
Anuma automatically backs up your conversations and memories with client-side AES-GCM encryption. Your data is encrypted on your device before it ever touches a server — only you hold the keys.
How backup works
Anuma runs automatic cloud backups in the background. Your conversations, memories, and media are encrypted on your device using AES-GCM encryption, then securely synced to the cloud for cross-device access and disaster recovery.
What gets backed up
- All conversations and chat history
- Your Memories
- Media files (images, audio, video) — up to 50GB on Pro plan
- Personality settings and preferences
Encryption
- Client-side encryption — Your data is encrypted on your device before upload
- AES-GCM standard — Industry-standard authenticated encryption
- Key derivation — Encryption keys are derived from your secure identity
- Ciphertext-only storage — Anuma’s servers only ever store your data in its encrypted form
Backup destinations
Beyond Anuma’s automatic encrypted backup, you can connect your own storage from Settings > Backup:
- Google Drive — back up to your own Google Drive
- Dropbox — back up to your own Dropbox
- iCloud — back up to iCloud on Apple devices
- Local Filesystem — download an encrypted backup straight to your device
Your data is encrypted on your device before it reaches any destination, so the storage provider only ever sees encrypted data.
Steps
Step 1: Open Backup settings
Go to Settings > Backup to view your backup status.
Step 2: Check backup status
The panel shows your last backup time, storage usage, and sync status.
Step 3: Manual backup (optional)
Tap Backup Now to trigger a manual backup if you want to ensure your latest data is synced.

Restoring from backup
If you lose your device or switch phones, sign in on a new device. Your encrypted backup restores automatically — your conversations, memories, and settings come back exactly as you left them, without exposing your data to anyone.
