Backups

Backups¶

Data managers can take backups of the data on a device using the Export Data feature. Log in as the "admin" user on the device to export data for all users. The Export Data feature is in the dropdown menu in the top-right corner after log-in.

The backup files will be saved in the /storage/self/primary/Documents/Tangerine/backups/ directory on the device.

Copy device backups to a computer¶

Transfering the backup requres the Android Debug Bridge installed on the computer. Make sure to add the command adb to your executable PATH environment variable.

Use the following commands to save all of the database backup files:

For MacOS:

adb pull /storage/self/primary/Documents/Tangerine/backups/tangerine-variables ~/Desktop/
adb pull /storage/self/primary/Documents/Tangerine/backups/tangerine-lock-boxes ~/Desktop/
adb pull /storage/self/primary/Documents/Tangerine/backups/users ~/Desktop/
adb pull /storage/self/primary/Documents/Tangerine/backups/shared-user-database ~/Desktop/

For Windows:

adb pull /storage/self/primary/Documents/Tangerine/backups/tangerine-variables %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\
adb pull /storage/self/primary/Documents/Tangerine/backups/tangerine-lock-boxes %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\
adb pull /storage/self/primary/Documents/Tangerine/backups/users %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\
adb pull /storage/self/primary/Documents/Tangerine/backups/shared-user-database %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\
