Cloud Backup: Never Lose Your Detecting Data

Months of detecting sessions, carefully logged finds, detector presets tuned to your favourite sites — losing all of that to a dead phone or a factory reset is painful. Cloud backup copies everything to your Google Drive so it's always recoverable.

Connecting Your Google Account

Go to Settings and tap Cloud Backup. You'll be prompted to sign in with your Google account. The app requests access only to its own app folder on your Drive — it cannot see or touch any of your other files. Once connected, your account email appears on the backup screen.

What Gets Backed Up

A backup includes everything you'd need to fully restore your detecting setup:

• All sessions — GPS tracks, finds, timestamps, statistics
• Detector presets — your saved detector models and custom settings
• Permission Vault — all permission entries with boundaries and contact details
• App settings — theme, units, language, and map preferences

Creating a Backup

You have two options: “Create Backup” uploads directly to your connected Google Drive. “Export to File” saves the backup to your phone so you can store it wherever you want. Either way, the backup file contains your full detecting history and takes just a few seconds to create.

Restoring on a New Device

Install the app on your new phone, connect the same Google account, and tap Restore. It downloads the latest backup and rebuilds your entire detecting history. All your sessions, finds, presets, and permissions appear exactly as they were.

Auto-Backup

Enable auto-backup and the app creates a fresh backup automatically once per day, the next time you open it after that day's rollover. You don't have to remember to back up manually — if your phone dies, the most you can lose is the latest day's sessions.
