Backing up NFTs
Set up a backup
- In the console, open NFT Backup.
- Click New Backup.
- Configure:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Network | The chain the contract is on |
| Contract address | The token contract |
| Destination bucket | An IPFS bucket on your Filebase account |
| Mode | One-time backup or continuous (new tokens auto-backed-up) |
- Click Start Backup.
Filebase walks the contract, fetches each token's metadata, and pins the metadata plus referenced media files to the destination bucket.
Monitoring progress
The backup row shows progress (tokens fetched, files pinned, errors). Click into the row to see per-token status — any tokens whose metadata or media couldn't be fetched are flagged for review.
Continuous mode
In continuous mode, Filebase watches the contract for new mints and pins their content automatically. Useful for live, growing collections.
Storage cost
Backups consume normal Filebase storage. A typical NFT (one metadata file plus one media file) is small — single-digit MB at most — so even large collections (10,000s of tokens) often fit within a few hundred GB.
