Restore Backup

Suntimes -> Settings -> Widgets to show the widget list, then : -> Restore Backup to import settings from file.

After selecting a backup file you will be prompted to select an import method:

  • Restore Backup. Imported settings will be cached for now and restored later when requested by the launcher. The launcher must support this option.

  • Best Guess. Imported settings will be applied to existing widgets by type.

  • Direct Import. Imported settings will be applied directly. This only works correctly if the widget ids are unchanged.
