What this is: a one-click backup of your entire reservation history as a single spreadsheet file. Each row is one reservation; every column the database has ever stored for any reservation shows up — pickup date, vehicle, contact info, pricing breakdown, driver, status, every imported field, everything.

When to use it: archive backups, end-of-month reporting, sharing data with your accountant, or just looking at trends in Excel/Numbers. Won't damage anything in the database — it only reads.

Where complex fields go: things that are lists or nested (stop addresses, the raw row from your last import) get squished into a single cell as text. Nothing is lost.

Which format? CSV opens in any spreadsheet app (Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets) and is the most reliable. The Excel option is convenient if you want built-in filtering and sorting — it takes a few extra seconds the first time because it loads a small helper library.

What this is: a second copy of every reservation lives on your computer, written into a folder you choose. Every time you open this page (or click Back up now), a fresh snapshot replaces the files in that folder.

Why: if the cloud database ever has an outage or you're locked out of the admin console, you still have a complete copy of every booking on disk — open it in Excel, share it, restore from it.

How it works: click Choose folder once, pick a destination (e.g. a folder in your Documents), and grant the browser permission. From then on every page load mirrors four files into that folder: bookings.json, bookings.csv, config.json (pricing, fleet, zones, drivers), and backup.log (timestamp of each sync).

Your browser doesn't support writing directly to a folder. Auto-backup needs the File System Access API, which is in Chrome, Edge, and Brave today (Safari and Firefox are still adding it). Until then, click Download CSV or Download Excel above whenever you want a snapshot.
