BACKUP & RESTORE
Last backup:—
Backup downloads a byte-faithful file of all data. Restore replaces all current data (a safety snapshot saves first).
Counts how many of your records have each field filled in, so Murphy can be built around what keepers actually use. Contains no names, ID numbers, notes, or values — you see the whole report before deciding whether to share it.
Earlier imports recorded parents as names only, which nothing could follow. Finds those and offers to link them — to animals you hold, to references held elsewhere, or as wild-caught founders. Changes no recorded value.
Finds welfare and body-condition readings that are in a backup but missing from your records, and offers them back one at a time. Adds only — never replaces or deletes, and never changes a current score.

NAMED FOR
Dr. James B. Murphy
Curator of Herpetology Emeritus Smithsonian's National Zoo
Dr. James B. Murphy is one of the foremost herpetologists in the world — a career defined by deep scientific rigor, encyclopedic knowledge of reptile biology, and decades of stewardship of one of the most important living reptile collections in the Western Hemisphere.
Murphy was built by a keeper. It exists because the animals deserve records as serious as the people who care for them.
