Frequently asked questions
How do I back up JASP?
Copy settings plus data folders matching the running OS with the app closed. Modules, logs and autosaves travel in data. Restoring means putting both halves back.
Registry or INI on Windows?
Qt maps org plus app names per platform with INI on Windows and Linux. Policies plus legacy registry layer beneath on Windows. Trust the mapped names.
