Backing Up Your Boat

A backup is a single file holding everything on your boat: the log, to-dos, engines, custom properties, files and photos. Restore it to put your boat back as it was.

Making a backup

iPhone: tap your boat’s picture at the top left, tap •••, then Export Data….
iPad: open the tab with your boat’s name, tap •••, then Export Data….
Mac: choose File ▸ Export Data…

Then choose where to save it.

What’s in it

A zip file named after your boat, like Tern.zip, that opens anywhere:

• Tern.json: your boat’s records.
• README.txt: what each part of the records means.
• files: every file and photo, under its original name.

Still stuck? Hail us.
