How to back up your saved adult videos (so you actually own them)
Saved videos vanish when links die or a single-site account goes away. Here is how to keep a durable backup with rich metadata and a Premium export of your whole library to CSV or JSON.
The durable way to back up saved adult videos is to store rich metadata (title, preview and cast) alongside every link, and to keep an export of the whole list somewhere you control. That combination survives the two things that usually wipe a collection: dead links when a source removes a video, and lock-in when everything lives inside one site's favorites. With metadata plus a Premium export to CSV or JSON, a broken link is recoverable and your library is portable.
Why do saved videos disappear?
Two failure modes. First, links rot: source sites take videos down, reupload them under new IDs, or reorganize their pages, and a plain bookmark that points at one dead URL becomes a meaningless string. Second, single-site accounts: if your favorites live inside one tube site, they vanish the day that account is closed or the site changes its rules. More on the first problem in how to keep your saved videos from dying when links break.
How does rich metadata protect a backup?
When you save with automatic extraction, PornLibrary stores the title, preview image and the real cast, not just the URL. So even when the original link breaks, you still know exactly which video it was and can find it again on a mirror or another source. Premium dead-link detection scans your library and flags entries whose source has gone offline, so you can re-save proactively instead of discovering the gap when you want to watch.
How do I export my whole library?
Premium includes library export: you can download your entire collection to CSV or JSON, so you own a copy outside the app. CSV opens in any spreadsheet for a quick human-readable list, and JSON keeps the full structured detail (tags, collections, performers) if you ever want to move or archive it. Export is a Premium feature; you can see what each tier includes on the pricing page.
What does a good backup habit look like?
- Save the metadata, not just the link, so a video stays identifiable forever.
- Let dead-link detection catch broken sources early, before you need them.
- Export to CSV or JSON periodically so a copy lives outside the app.
- Keep tags and collections tidy so the exported file is actually usable later.
Own your library
A backup is really about ownership: your collection should not depend on any single site staying up or any one account staying open. Rich metadata makes each entry durable, dead-link detection keeps it honest, and export makes the whole thing portable.
