What does the backup include?
The backup is a mirror image of the current vocabulary of the app in its current state. This includes:
- the entire picture vocabulary (including custom images added)
- the audio recording (if any)
- all the settings that have been set up in the app.
- the sentences saved in Favourites folder
- the history of recently spoken sentences
The backup is stored in the device, by default.
If in Avaz settings, the backup is linked to Cloud, then in addition to the device, the backup gets replicated on the Cloud.
Note: There is cross-platform compatibility of the backup - i.e., an Avaz backup taken on Android device can be restored on an Apple device and vice-versa.
Backups can be taken manually or automatically. For auto-backups please refer to Avaz FAQ - How do I take auto-backups?
