Do I need to create backups of my saves?

Pocket stores your account in the cloud so your items are available on any device, any time. Because Pocket uses the cloud, you don't need to create backups of saved items. However, you may wish to have a backup of your saves on your computer or hard drive if you prefer to keep an additional copy.

Can I use this file to import into another Pocket account?

Our importer tools sadly cannot import a Pocket export file. However, you can open the export file and hand-select links you wish to re-save to another Pocket account.
