Restoring SpotLog from a device backup

If you use device cloud backup to backup your device, the backup will include SpotLog data on the device.  If you move to a new device, and use one of the options to set up the new device from the previous backup, SpotLog will be restored with your data and records.

 

Restoring on Android

When the new device starts up, select "Copy app & data" when prompted.

Tap "Next"



  • Select "A backup from an Android phone" or "A backup from the cloud" as appropriate. 

Restoring from  "Backup from the cloud"

You will need the credentials of the account used to backup the previous device.

  • Enter the account credentials





  • Select the Backup to restore from.

  • Choose what you want to restore and tap "continue"

  • The phone will now continue and install the apps that were backed up on the old device, settings etc.

  • When the restore is complete, you will have various apps - including SpotLog - installing on the phone.  Wait for the SpotLog install to complete.

  • Once SpotLog is installed on the phone, start the SpotLog app.  Spotlog will start and will restore the data from your previous device.

  • If SpotLog does not automatically restore the data, use the Import and Export functions to import the "Auto__ " auto export backup, or other backup as required.
