Files and backups
What a backup file contains, which versions restore, and what is stored outside it.
Vfinity keeps its configuration on your machine. A backup packs it into one file you can move or archive.
What a backup contains
| Included | Notes |
|---|---|
| Settings | Connection details, ports, preferences |
| Event mappings | The whole Events list, enabled and disabled |
| Throwing scene | Body parts, calibration, gift mappings, physics |
| Themes | Both the built-in choice and any of your own |
| Stats and points | All-time records and balances |
| VTube Studio token | Only if you tick Include the VTube Studio token |
What it does not contain
- Uploaded images: the throwing reference image and overlay assets live in the app's local storage
- Your OBS scenes and browser sources, which live in OBS
- Anything on the TikTok or VTube Studio side
Overlay URLs point at 127.0.0.1, which means the machine OBS runs on, so they are set up per machine rather than carried in a backup.
Format versions
The current format is version 6. Vfinity restores versions 1 through 5 as well, filling in defaults for anything a newer feature needs.
| Version | Added |
|---|---|
| 6 | Stats and economy settings |
| 1 to 5 | Earlier shapes, all still restorable |
The VTube Studio token
Include the VTube Studio token is off by default and marked SENSITIVE.
The token lets a restored backup connect to VTube Studio without asking you to approve the plugin again. Anyone holding that file can control your VTube Studio plugin. Do not share a backup that includes it, and do not upload one anywhere public.
Everything else restores without it. VTube Studio simply asks for approval once more.
Values are repaired on load
Numbers are range-checked when settings load, so a hand-edited file or an old backup with an out-of-range value heals rather than driving the physics engine with it. A cleared number field does not become 0, and a burst cap of 0 does not silently mean 50.
