# WABak > WABak is desktop WhatsApp backup software for creating readable local records of accessible chats, supported media, saved and unsaved contacts, and group members. WABak stores completed core backup records on the computer running the desktop client. Depending on the selected plan, users can view, search, filter, and export supported records. Chat records can be exported to HTML or Excel, supported media can be saved separately, and contact and group-member records can be exported to Excel. WABak does not read, repair, or restore encrypted WhatsApp backups from Google Drive or iCloud. It cannot retrieve data that was never successfully backed up, and it does not restore exported records into WhatsApp. Users should connect only WhatsApp accounts and process only records they are authorized to manage. WABak is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc. ## Product - [WABak WhatsApp Chat Backup Tool](https://wabak.wadesk.io/): Product overview for backing up, viewing, searching, and exporting supported WhatsApp records. - [Download WABak](https://wabak.wadesk.io/download): Download the Windows or macOS desktop client. - [WABak Pricing and Plans](https://wabak.wadesk.io/pricing): Compare free and paid access, account-port limits, search, filtering, and export availability. ## Backup Guides - [WhatsApp Backup Guides](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog): Browse WABak guides about local archiving, viewing, searching, exporting, contacts, and group members. - [WhatsApp Chat Backup to PC Without Cloud Storage](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/whatsapp-chat-backup-to-pc): Create a readable local WhatsApp archive on a computer. - [How to View and Search a WhatsApp Backup on PC](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/how-to-view-search-whatsapp-backup-on-pc): Understand readable archives and find saved records. - [WhatsApp Backup vs Export](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/whatsapp-backup-vs-export): Compare restore backups, chat exports, transfers, and local archives. - [Local WhatsApp Backup vs Google Drive and iCloud](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/local-whatsapp-backup-vs-google-drive-icloud): Compare readable local archives with official cloud restore backups. - [WhatsApp Backup Not Found in Google Drive](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/whatsapp-backup-not-found-google-drive): Check common causes and safe next steps without claiming cloud-backup recovery. - [How to Export WhatsApp Chats to HTML with Media](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/export-whatsapp-chats-to-html-with-media): Create readable HTML chat records and save supported media. - [How to Export WhatsApp Chats to Excel](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/export-whatsapp-chats-excel): Export supported chat fields for authorized business workflows. - [How to Back Up Saved and Unsaved WhatsApp Contacts](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/backup-saved-unsaved-whatsapp-contacts): Preserve and organize supported contact records. - [How to Back Up and Export WhatsApp Group Members](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/backup-export-whatsapp-group-members): Archive authorized group-member records and export supported fields. - [Back Up WhatsApp Business Chats Before an Employee Leaves](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/backup-whatsapp-business-chats-before-employee-leaves): Prepare authorized business records for an employee handover. - [View WhatsApp Chats After Losing Account Access](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/view-whatsapp-chats-after-losing-account-access): Learn what remains available when records were backed up before access changed. - [WhatsApp Chat Backup Checklist for Small Businesses](https://wabak.wadesk.io/blog/whatsapp-chat-backup-checklist-for-small-businesses): Plan a practical backup and record-retention workflow. ## Company and Support - [About WABak](https://wabak.wadesk.io/about-us): Learn about the product purpose, principles, leadership, and documented boundaries. - [Contact WABak Support](https://wabak.wadesk.io/contact-us): Get help with installation, accounts, backup workflows, supported exports, or subscriptions. ## Localized Entry Points - [WABak in Simplified Chinese](https://wabak.wadesk.io/zh): Chinese product overview. - [Chinese WhatsApp Backup Guides](https://wabak.wadesk.io/zh/blog): Chinese guide index. - [WABak in Spanish](https://wabak.wadesk.io/es): Spanish product overview. - [Spanish WhatsApp Backup Guides](https://wabak.wadesk.io/es/blog): Spanish guide index. - [WABak in Portuguese](https://wabak.wadesk.io/pt): Portuguese product overview. - [Portuguese WhatsApp Backup Guides](https://wabak.wadesk.io/pt/blog): Portuguese guide index. - [WABak in Indonesian](https://wabak.wadesk.io/id): Indonesian product overview. - [Indonesian WhatsApp Backup Guides](https://wabak.wadesk.io/id/blog): Indonesian guide index. - [WABak in Hindi](https://wabak.wadesk.io/hi): Hindi product overview. - [Hindi WhatsApp Backup Guides](https://wabak.wadesk.io/hi/blog): Hindi guide index. ## Optional - [Privacy Policy](https://wabak.wadesk.io/privacy-policy): How WABak handles website, account, subscription, diagnostic, support, and local backup information. - [Terms of Service](https://wabak.wadesk.io/terms-of-service): Terms for authorized use, subscriptions, product limits, and service availability. - [XML Sitemap Index](https://wabak.wadesk.io/sitemap_index.xml): Complete index of canonical public pages across supported languages.
