How to restore? #510

Closed myfirstnameispaul closed 8 months ago

I have installed via F-Droid to create backup with LineageOS. Now trying to restore backup via install from F-Droid in GrapheneOS, and finding that there isn't a restore option in the app.

How do I restore?

To make a backup of the notes (as a json file):

  1. open the app --> open the 3 dots menu --> go to "settings" --> go to "backup"
  2. touch the 1° option to choose a backup folder
  3. choose the folder with your file picker
  4. you're now back to the app: touch "export backup"
  5. you now have a json file with the notes

To RESTORE a backup from a json file

  1. open the app --> open the 3 dots menu --> go to "settings" --> go to "backup"
  2. touch the 1° option to choose a backup folder
  3. pick the folder that contains the json file
  4. you're now back to the app: touch "import backup"
  5. your notes should now be in the app

I have tested this procedure and it works. Maybe you renamed the json file ? It should remain with the name "NoNonsenseNotes_Backup.json"

@myfirstnameispaul I assume you managed to restore your notes ? I will close this issue in a few days.
