## What is Wildcard Backup?

WildCard Backup is a local-first media backup app for photographers, videographers, content creators, and anyone who works with SD cards, USB drives, camera cards, or media folders.

It helps you copy files from source folders or connected media cards into one or more backup folders, without manually dragging files around. Your media stays on your own device or connected storage. WildCard Backup does not upload your media files to the internet.

Use WildCard Backup to:

• Back up media from SD cards, USB drives, camera cards, folders, and connected storage
• Copy new files to multiple backup destinations with one Back Up Now action
• Keep backup folders organised using file metadata where available
• Clean source folders after files have been safely backed up
• Move completed work from backup folders into archive storage
• Use a phone with a USB-C hub for on-the-go media backup workflows
• Use a laptop or desktop with connected drives for studio workflows

A typical workflow:

1. Capture photos, videos, audio, or project files onto an SD card or media device.
2. Connect the source media and at least two backup locations to the device running WildCard Backup.
3. Add those folders or drives in the app.
4. Tap Back Up Now to copy new files to your backup folders.
5. Clean the source media once the backups are confirmed.
6. Edit and publish from your backup folders.
7. Move finished work into archive storage when the project is complete.

WildCard Backup is designed for creators who want a simple, repeatable backup workflow without sending large media files through the cloud.
