A backup is a file that contains your data. It can be used only inside the app.
It is used to keep your data safe and to move your data between devices.
You can create a backup in the Settings page, Backup section.
It is strongly recommended that you keep the auto-save option enabled. In this way, a backup will be created every day.
The name of these backups will be "AutoBackup_", followed by, in order: year, month, day, hour and minute of when it was created.
The automatic backups will be created in the internal memory of your phone, and in the "Apps/FastBudget/Backup" folder in Dropbox.
If you uninstall the app, the automatic backups will be deleted unless they are saved in Dropbox. (The Dropbox app is not required in the device)
To save automatic backups on Dropbox, activate the "Enable backup in Dropbox" option.
It is possible to set the maximum number of automatic backups stored in the local memory.
If this limit is exceeded, the older ones will be deleted.
Backup import
You can restore a backup on the same Settings page.
Backups saved in the device and in Dropbox are not shown at the same time.
To view one or the other, you can use the switch present in the page (The button is shown only if Dropbox use has been enabled in the previous screen)
When recovering data from a backup, the current database is deleted.
Photos
It is possible to attach a photo to your transactions.
Photos are not included in the app backups and are not synchronized automatically between devices.
To enable the backup and sync of your photos you must enable Dropbox in the app.
You can do it in the Settings page.
It is also possible to manually copy all photos in another device or to Dropbox.
