Off-Device Backup And Restore
Off-Device Backups
Of-Device backup saves a copy of your writing database on another computer; that is, the data leaves the device and an external connection is needed. Off-device backup takes longer than on-device backups.
Off-device backups protect your work in case the app crashes and corrupts your data (this shouldn't happen). Off-device backups also protect you in the event of catastrophic device failures or crashes. You should always use off-device backups in conjunction with on-device ones.
Off-device backups are slower than on-device backups.
Off-device backups backup all of your writing, not just the current thing you are working on.
Off-device backups can be backed up to other computers, or online services such as Dropbox.
Off-Device Restore
Off-device restore replaces your current writing database with the one you have on the computer used to perform the off-device backup. The restore requires an external connection. NOTE: Your ENTIRE database is restored, not just the item you are currently working on. Make sure you want to restore EVERYTHING.
Off-device restores may take several minutes.
