WebDAV Backup: Sync Profiles and Settings Across Machines

Rebuilding your proxy setup from scratch after an OS reinstall is misery. Clash Verge ships WebDAV backup: two clicks pack every setting into the cloud, one click restores it on the new machine.

Get a WebDAV endpoint

Any of these works:

• Nextcloud / Synology NAS — the standard self-hosted choice; the WebDAV URL is in the Files app settings;
• TeraCloud, InfiniCLOUD and similar free providers with WebDAV support;
• Any generic WebDAV server you already run.

Configure and back up

1. Settings → Backup: enter server URL, username and password (use an app password if your provider issues them);
2. Click Backup — the app packs profiles, Merge/Script configs and app settings into a timestamped archive and uploads it;
3. The backup list shows historical snapshots; old ones can be deleted from here.

Restore

On the new device, install Clash Verge, enter the same WebDAV details, pick the latest snapshot and hit Restore, then restart the app. Profiles, groups, custom rules, theme — all back.

Fine print

• Backups contain your subscription URLs — sensitive. Use your own account, never a shared or public WebDAV space;
• Backups are manual snapshots. Take one before big changes and before major version upgrades;
• Cross-platform restore works (Windows backup → macOS); path-style settings adapt automatically.
