Automatic Backups
Beanconqueror does auto backups. They can be found here:
iOS:
Files App -> My Device -> Beanconqueror -> Beanconqueror_automatic_export*.zip
Android:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.beanconqueror.app/files/Download/Beanconqueror_export/Beanconqueror_automatic_export*.zip (Or ///datacom.beanconqueror.app/files/Download/Beanconqueror_export)
This data does NOT inherit images or brew graph data.
Backup:
iOS:
On iOS thats pretty easy, all data, images, brew graphs, backup files etc. are saved below:
Files App -> My Device -> Beanconqueror
Android:
Open up Beanconqueror
→ Menu → Settings → Full export to directory
Now you can choose a full directory to export to, all images, brew graphs, etc. are included.
Import:
iOS:
The best you can do, is to include Beanconqueror to iCloud Backup and if you get a new device, install your data from the iCloud. Important!: You need to wait the installation and don’t skip.
If you don’t want / can’t include Beanconqueror to the iCloud Backup:
