Backup and Restore

Backup and Restore

Export and import

Use Export Backup and Import Backup in Settings, General. Import Backup is also on the first-run screen. One JSON file holds:

• all songs, with translations
• every imported Bible version (the bundled ones too)
• the schedule and presets
• every setting: Look defaults, fonts, backgrounds (including uploaded images and videos), lower third styles and colours, host and output settings
• saved names, pinned and recent references, panel sizes, language and theme

Restoring replaces what is on this computer, asks first, and restarts the panel so everything loads from the restored data. The Bible search index is rebuilt on the next start.

Moving to a new computer

1. Export a backup on the old computer.
2. Install Scripture Pod on the new one.
3. Choose Import Backup on the first-run screen.

Not in the backup

• The live display address and access token (new every launch).
• The pairing code (regenerated).
• Window positions.
• The files behind media you added from disk. The app remembers where they are, so copy those files to the new computer too.

Automatic backups

In Settings, General, choose a folder (a Dropbox, Drive or OneDrive folder gives you an off-computer copy), how often to back up, and how many to keep. Back up now runs one at once.
