TGC How to Back Up a Telegram Channel
Channel content disappears into scrolling history — or is lost entirely if the channel is deleted. Backing up a channel really means keeping the content in your own hands. TGC helps you manage your own Telegram data: channel content goes into your content library, on your own device, independent of the channel.

FAQ
Is my content safe if the channel is deleted?
Yes. Content lives on your own device (content library or local folder) and does not depend on the channel.
Will future content be included?
Monitor and Subscription tasks keep collecting new content; a Scan task collects what already exists.
How much space does it take?
The actual size of the content; same-name files are renamed to avoid conflicts, and re-downloading the same content overwrites in place without extra copies.
What is the difference between the content library and downloading?
The content library lives on your device for browsing and playback; downloading saves original files to a local folder you choose.
What is the difference between the content library and the media library?
The content library stores content collected by tasks; the media library is a local view where you add folders manually. Both live on your own device.
