Choosing the backup folder
Backups are stored as files with the extension ".bxbackup" in a folder of your choice. You select this folder in the app settings:
- Open the menu (≡) and choose Settings.
- Click Choose folder next to Backup folder and select the folder you would like to use.
On smartphones and tablets a backup folder must be selected before you can create or restore backups. On iOS, StudioX Flow shows a hint with a Choose folder button on the Backup/Restore page, which takes you directly to the settings. If the folder is no longer accessible (e.g. because it was moved or renamed in the Files app), simply select it again.
On computers we also recommend selecting a backup folder, so you always know where your backups are stored. The folder currently in use is shown in the help text of the Backup/Restore page.
Backups are ordinary files. You can copy them, keep them in a cloud folder or send them to other pilots. To use a backup you received from someone else, simply copy the ".bxbackup" file into your backup folder. It will appear in the backup list automatically.
