Backups and Google Sheets

Your sales, your inventory, your customer accounts and your shifts are saved on the tablet. If the tablet is lost or damaged without a backup, they are lost. Turn the backup on the first day.

Daily backup to Google Drive

1. Open Settings > Backups.
2. Tap “Connect Google Drive” and choose your Google account.
3. Leave “Automatic daily copy” turned on. It runs at around 3:00 in the morning.

The copy goes to a private app folder in your Drive: nobody else sees it, not even you from the browser. 30 days of copies are kept. With several tablets, only one makes the location’s backup.

Other buttons:

• “Back up now”: before a big change.
• “Export a copy to a file”: a file you save wherever you want.
• “Change account” or “Disconnect Google Drive”.

Restore

• On a tablet you already use: Settings > Backups > “See copies in Google Drive” or “Restore from a file”.
• On a new tablet: on the first screen choose “Restore a backup”.

If the backup is from another tablet that is still in use, the app asks whether you want to “Replace the device of the backup” or “Use a new number”. Choose a new number if both tablets are going to keep working.

My data in Google (Google Sheets)

Copy your data to a Google Sheet in your Drive to see it on the computer or to make free charts with Looker Studio.

1. Open Settings > My data in Google.
2. Tap “Connect my data in Google” and choose your account.
3. The register creates the sheet and keeps filling it with your sales, the products sold, the inventory, the customers and the shift closes.

Buttons: “Export now”, “Open sheet”, “Change account” and “Disconnect”. You need to be the owner or have the Settings permission.

Only one register writes to the sheet. If you want another one to write, tap “Write from this register” on it.

The sheet is not a backup: to recover the register use the Google Drive backup.
