How to transfer OvuView data between phones

[OvuView]

How to transfer your data from your old phone to your new phone?

A) Using automatic cloud backup

If both of your phones have a newer version of Android then in most cases your data will be automatically backuped on your old phone and restored on your new phone when you first install your phone and configure the same Google account. This automatic backup uses Android's built-in cloud backup feature, but unfortunately this does not work reliably on all phones and it could also happen that the restored data is not your latest backup.

B) Backup/restore through email

If you have Pro features purchased you can do the following steps:

BACKUP:

1. press menu button -> "Backup/Restore" -> "Backup to email"

2. send the OVU backup file to yourself

RESTORE:

3. install OvuView on your new phone and go to Live mode

4. make sure that your Pro features are already restored on your new phone (see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ovuview/qnepO8XvzOw/lj60aYCO7RcJ if your pro features were not restored automatically)

5. open your email app on your new phone and click on the OVU file attachment

6. select OvuView app to open with and OvuView will automatically restore your data

C) Backup/restore through SD card

If you don't have Pro features purchased then you should do the following steps:

BACKUP:

1. press menu button -> "Backup/Restore" -> "Backup to SD card"

2. open your file manager (e.g. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer )

3. go into folder /mnt/sdcard/OvuView/backup

(choose one of the cases a/b/c/d:)
