Back Up

Setting up Auto Back Up

When a device is connected, navigate to the product details to set up Auto Backup. Auto Backup should be turned off by default. The backup process will begin upon the following triggers, helping ensure that all relevant files are securely copied to the app’s designated backup location.

Backups will be one-directional, from the phone to the drive. After selecting the drive where the backup will be stored, choose which categories of items to back up (photos, videos, contacts).

Please do not lock your phone during a backup. This can cause the backup to halt, and you will need to rerun your backup.

Change and toggle back-up frequency (day, week, month).

Manual Back Up
To run a manual backup after setting your auto backup preferences, click “Run Backup” from the backup page.

Restore

To begin or complete a Restore, you must have previously completed a Backup.

Steps to Restore:

1. To access the Restore function, navigate to the Backups section by selecting the device that completed the backup you want to restore.

a) Backups are tied to specific devices. For example, if Bob backed up his iPhone Camera Roll to his 256 GB SanDisk Phone Drive, he would need to access that backup by selecting his 256 GB SanDisk Phone Drive in the SMZ2.0 App first, then navigating to Backups.

2. After selecting the backup, you want to restore, choose the “Restore” action from the backup list.

3. Upon selecting Restore, a Summary page will display additional details such as the number of files, folders, file types, backup size, destination for backup, etc., along with a confirmation button at the bottom of the screen.

4. Confirm to begin the restoration or cancel the restoration from this page. 5. During the restore process, you will have the option to keep both files or replace existing
ones.

2. Choose the device where you want to copy the file.
3. Navigate through the file tree to find the desired destination.

For larger copy jobs, you can see the progress on the Home Screen.
