Yes, you can transfer your Site Audit Pro database to storage on your device and access that with a computer. You will need both devices, and a computer in order to complete this process.
We recommend keeping the app installed on your old device until you've confirmed the transfer has completed successfully on your new device.
*** Please note that there is a risk of data loss during the transferring of databases. Veam Studios cannot take responsibility for any data loss that occurs during a database transfer but we do understand that users will often require this transfer for ease or continuation of their work and provide these instructions to aid them with this in mind.
Please also be aware that, in some cases, photos may not be transferred properly during the process of backing up SAP's files, which leaves an empty white space where the photo should be. The photo files should be within your backed up files, within a folder named "projects", but it may be necessary to manually add these photo files to your device and then back into the projects within the app. This isn't a certainty, but it is a risk you should be aware of. ***
To transfer your database:
On your first/old device:
- Open Site Audit Pro.
- Open the overflow menu and tap "Settings".
- Tap "General".
- Tap "Import/Export Database".
- Tap "Export Database".
- Please take note of the notification on-screen. After accepting this, you will be prompted to select a location to save the database in. You can navigate to or create a new folder if you wish. We recommend naming the folder as "Site Audit Pro Data" or something similar.
Once you're within the folder you wish to use, tap "Use This Folder" - Next, plug this device into a computer and access the device's Documents folder mentioned above using an Android File Browser.
- Find the folder you saved your data to in Step 6 and save that folder and its contents to an easy to access location on your computer.
Moving on to adding these files to your second/new device, plug this device into your computer:
- On your computer, use your Android File Browser to access your device's "Documents" folder. You can add an additional folder to save the data to here if you wish to do so, but don't add anything within the database folder itself.
- Copy the folder that contains the data that you saved previously, from your computer into the device's Documents folder.
- Continuing with your new device, open Site Audit Pro.
- Open the overflow menu and tap "Settings".
- Tap "General".
- Tap "Import/Export Database".
- Tap "Import Database", reading the notification on-screen.
- Access the database folder you transferred in Step 10. You should see two objects within it
- a folder labelled "projects", and
- a file named "site_audit_db" - once you see this file, proceed to the final step. - Tap "Use this Folder".
Your database should now be accessible on your new device. Please check through all projects on this device to ensure that they have transferred correctly (include a test of generating the report for each project during this time too) before deleting the app from or wiping your old device.
