Backup and Restore Guide for Legado

See also: Beginner Guides:⚡️ Quick Start

IMPORTANT

Legado does not have an account system. You cannot restore your data simply by logging into a bookSource website.

You must configure a WebDAV service to restore your data from the cloud.

TIP

Any cloud drive that supports WebDAV can be used to back up your data.

Set Up Backup Info

Home Screen - Me - Settings - Backup & Restore

In the WebDAV settings, fill in the server address, account, and password, then save.

CAUTION

Please make sure to enter YOUR OWN WebDAV account info.

Otherwise, it will cause data leakage (and you will be the one responsible for it).

Click [Backup To] to set your backup folder

Click [Backup], and the following pop-up will appear

Click [OK] (确定). You can choose either option here

Navigate to the folder where you want to save your backup files, then click [OK]

TIP

Once WebDAV backup is configured, the app will automatically back up every time you exit.

NOTE

Only exiting using the "Back" button will trigger the automatic backup. Closing the app directly from the task manager will not back it up.

Backups created on the same day will overwrite each other.

Backups from different dates will be saved separately.

Go to Backup & Restore, and click [Backup] to back up your data.

TIP

If the backup fails, please manually create a folder named "legado" in the root directory of your cloud drive, and then try backing up again.

Go to Backup & Restore, click [Restore] select the backup file you want, and your data will be restored.
