Back Up Your Sikocam Library, Key and Settings

Phones get replaced, lost and reset, usually without asking permission first. This guide backs up the three things that make Sikocam yours, from the routine behind sikocam App, so a new phone is presenting again the same day.

The three things worth backing up

First, your license key: it is your activation, so store it where you store passwords, never in a screenshot in a shared album. Second, your source library: the trimmed, named feed files from our storage guide, copied to cloud storage or a computer. Third, a note of your settings: output level, schedule times and audio choices, which takes one minute to write and saves an hour of rediscovery.

A ten minute backup routine

Once a month, or whenever you add a source you would miss: copy the library folder to your backup location, confirm the key note is current, and update the settings note if anything changed. Test the backup once by opening a file from it; an untested backup is a hope, not a backup.

New phone day, step by step

Install from the download page, enter the key, copy the library back, recreate the settings from your note, and run one test call. The privacy habits in our privacy settings guide are worth redoing at the same time, since a new phone is a clean slate for sharing choices too.
