💾Backup & Restore

Data is the cornerstone of any application, but it’s particularly critical in time tracking apps as it represents a detailed history of your life, work, and activities. Ensuring the safety of your data is paramount. Here’s how you can protect and manage your data effectively:

Automatic Data Syncing

The simplest way to safeguard your data is by signing up for an account. Once registered, your data will automatically sync with our servers, ensuring it is always backed up and accessible. Read about it at Sync

Manual Backup

If you prefer manual backups, follow these steps:

  1. Creating a Backup

    1. Navigate to the Backup/Restore screen, which is located on the last tab of the app

    2. Press the Backup button to initiate the backup process

    3. Once the backup is complete, a Share dialog will appear

  2. Restoring Data

    1. To restore data go to the Backup/Restore screen and press the Restore button

    2. Select the backup file you want to restore, and the operation will be completed automatically

Restoring old aTimeLogger Backups

If you have an older aTimeLogger backup, you can restore it through the Backup/Restore screen - press the Restore aTimeLogger button and select the appropriate file

Data is the most important part of any app, but it's especially important in time tracking apps as it's a history of your life / work / etc. The easiest way to keep your data safe is to sign up and it will be synced automatically with our servers. Backing up data manually is an alternative solution. To create a backup go to Backup/Restore on last tab and press on 'Backup' button. After data is backed up Share dialog appears - store the file somewhere

Important notes

Restore Operation: Restoring a backup will delete all your local data. If you have an account and wish to restore data, be sure to sign out before performing the restore to avoid any data conflicts.

Backup Responsibility: Remember, if you choose manual backup, you are responsible for storing the backup file securely. Make sure it's saved in a safe location
