I'm prepared to be embarrassed.  It won't be the first time.

HA!  You and everyone else here...

Go to https://plan.foreflight.com/   

You'll need to log in with the same User Name and Password you use for your iPad/iPhone to log into FF.

On the left side, Click on Logbook.  ALL of your flights should be there.  VERY SLIGHT chance they're not all there if the iPad didn't complete a sync.  If you do not see any recent flights at the top, go to your iPad/iPhone and make sure you're connected to WiFi (you can use Cellular, but WiFi is much faster to react).  Open FF and go into  the Logbook and open a couple of different flights, maybe the last couple.  (Purpose is to make FF sync the Logbook. You should see the latest flights show up in the Logbook on the Website.  If not, click on anything on the left side (e.g. Map) and then go back to the Logbook eventually it should sync. 

Now look across the top and you'll see Entries - Drafts & Requests - Currency Summary..... and at the end will be EXPORT.  Click on Export and then Export again on the next page.  In your Download Folder you should find a file like: logbook_2023-07-01_02_12_57.csv   

Just save that file in a folder.  If you have issues, FF *should* be able to recover your data.  But for some reason they can't, you can take this file and IMPORT it instead of Exporting and replace what FF has with this backup.  Odds are you never will, but it's nice to know you can if you have to.

Wow!  Excellent and detailed explanation.  Thanks!

I prefer to have a file on my hard drive, or dare I say it, a printout. Even though it would suck to type it all back in again.

I do all of these at various intervals.  I've backed up to hard drive, Google Drive at more regular intervals.  Less frequently, I've printed and kept in a binder.
