Quick help

Start with the common fixes

An app is not listed

Rescan first. If the app is outside the main Applications folder, add its parent folder under App Locations in Settings and grant access.

An action will not start

Quit the target app completely. If macOS asks for folder access or administrator approval, allow it and try the action again.

An app cannot be processed

System apps cannot be archived. Apps labeled Protected contain root-owned items and require separate administrator approval before App Archiver can optimize or archive them. Approve the request and try again.

Backup Storage is unavailable

Reconnect the drive and rescan. If the location is still unavailable, select the same Backup Storage folder again in Settings. The backup files remain on the drive.
