Backup / Restore DB

You can take a backup of your data into your phone storage and restore your data from a backup file. Although MoBill reminds taking a backuup regularly, we strongly recommend taking a regular manual backups and keep them outside of your device. The content of the backup file is always encrypted for the confidentiality so that it is not possible to see the data simply looking into the backup file.

In Android, you can take a backup of your data with menu=>Take Backup option. You can restore a backup file with the Restore Backup option on the Settings=>System&Security screen 

In iOS, you can take a backup of the data and restore from backup file with Backup/Restore menu.

In free version when you choose Backup DB option, a backup file will be created into MoBill folder and it is always named as mobill.bck. As it uses same file name it overrides existing file so that it is recommended to check if you have any older backup and keep a copy of old backup files.

You can restore the data from a backup file by choosing Restore DB option. Restore option DELETES all existing data before restoring any data from backup so that I recommend you to keep separate backup of existing DB before start restoring. In free version MoBill always checks and uses mobill.bck file under MoBill folder and if it exists then asks you to confirm the operation. Premium Subscription activates file selection, MoBill shows the list of backup files under MoBill folder and asks you to choose which backup files you want to restore.

Dropbox Backup is an Premium Subscription feature that allows you to backup your database into and restore it from your Dropbox account directly. Using this feature you can copy your data between your devices. When you run it first time you will be asked for the authorization to access to your Dropbox account. MoBill can only access Apps\MoBill folder in your Dropbox account so that backup file will be created under this folder and will be restored from this folder. If you don't have Dropbox account you can get it from here
