Restore data from a backup file

To restore your data from a backup zip file you made from the Contacts Journal app:

- first make sure to turn off the Sync Setting in Contacts Journal

- iOS: go to the More -> Manage Data -> Restore over WiFi page. You need to have another computer connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone or iPad. The URL to open on your computer will be printed on the Contacts Journal screen

[important: the URL that shows on your screen will be different than shown in this image, so carefully note the exact URL, including the last 5 digits]

The URL will look different on your device, so make a note of it, and enter that URL on your computer's browser. The website will show you an option with which to upload the backup zip file, which will then get restored in the CJournal app

- Mac: from Contacts Journal preferences -> Manage Data -> select "Restore", and select the backup zip file that you wish to restore.

If the backup file is password-protected, you will need to enter the PIN to complete the Restore.
