Backup Your Data

Backup Your Data

It’s crucial to back up your race data regularly during the event to ensure that no information is lost due to device failure or accidental resets. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Navigate to the Menu:

   • In the UltraSignup Timing App, click on the menu (hamburger icon) located in the top right corner of the screen.

2. Select "Tools":

   • From the menu, select Tools to access additional functionality within the app.

3. Choose "Data Backup":

   • Under the Tools section, click on "Data Backup". This will immediately back up all of your event’s data to the UltraSignup server.

4. Backup Regularly:

   • It is strongly recommended that you perform regular backups throughout the event, especially during critical times like major race splits or checkpoints.

5. Post-Event Backups:

   • After the event has concluded, perform a final backup to ensure all the data is saved before closing the app.

6. Why Backup Is Important:

   • If your device crashes or if there's any technical issue, you will be able to recover your data from the UltraSignup server as long as you’ve performed backups during the event.
   • Backups help to avoid losing recorded finish times or checkpoints due to accidental resets or device malfunctions.

Reminder: The more often you back up, the less data you risk losing. This is your safety net in case something unexpected happens with the device you’re using to time the race.
