How to back up your iPhone receipts in Claim Kira

1. Know which file you are creating

A Proof Pack contains records prepared for sharing with your accountant. An app backup is the file used by Claim Kira’s restore-backup function. Restore Purchases is different again: it restores eligible paid access through Apple, not your receipt library. Use the backup function when your goal is to recover app data later; do not assume an exported report can rebuild it.

• Use Proof Pack for a records handoff.
• Use app backup for a restorable copy of app data.
• Use Restore Purchases for paid access, not missing receipts.

2. Create the backup and finish saving it

Tap Back Up Now when shown, or use the backup option in Settings. After the ZIP is created, complete the iPhone save or share step and choose a destination outside Claim Kira. For example, choose a folder in iCloud Drive or another storage location you control. Opening the share options alone does not confirm that a backup was saved.

• Check the destination folder before finishing.
• Confirm the ZIP appears there with a recognisable date or name.
• Do not leave the only backup inside Claim Kira’s own local files.

3. Refresh the backup when your records change

A backup reflects the data at the time you created it. New scans, edited fields and folder changes made later will need a newer backup. Use a simple routine that fits your workload, such as after finishing a batch of receipts or before monthly housekeeping. Keep the previous backup until you have confirmed that the new file was saved successfully.

• Back up after important additions or corrections.
• Keep the file where you can locate it from a replacement device.
• Avoid sending a backup to someone who only needs an accountant export.

4. Prepare before replacing a phone or deleting the app

First create a current backup, confirm its saved location and check that you can access it outside the app. Deleting Claim Kira removes its local app files. When recovering records, use the app’s restore-backup option with the intended backup. Afterwards, check receipt count, familiar images, key details and folders before relying on the restored library. Contact support if the result is unexpected.

• Keep the original backup file while checking recovery.
• Do not delete the old app or erase the old phone before securing the backup.
• Check the restored records before making further changes.
