## Setup – Utilities

It is very important to **create backups** often, to prevent data loss, in case the terminal breaks down or any other eventuality occurs, or also to copy the data to another terminal that should have the same configuration.

The first thing to do is to choose where to store the backup. Tap the **Browse** button to find the desired path.

You can browse through the device folders to choose where to store the backup. By default, it starts browsing to the **internal SD card**, but you can also browse to the **external SD card** or **USB storage drive**.

It is recommended to create a new folder where to store all the Backups.

When you restore a Backup, **all the statistics and databases of the application will be deleted**. Therefore, use this process with caution.

Now you will have to navigate to the **folder containing all the backups**. Do not select the folder with the specific name of the backups: backup01xxxx.

![](https://2497775588-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MV2Aqo0rwnTjQHSsUBN%2F-MWgFrlr0LpkGtFO1kdY%2F-MWgHtr3_feg2LQVxED1%2FFACTORYPOS%20BACKUP%2010.jpg?alt=media\&token=70e13659-df82-4faa-a402-8b27d337df09)
