Auto Backup

You can use QuickPlanX to store your projects on iCloud, which is a secure and reliable cloud storage platform. However, it is always a good idea to have a backup copy of your data in case something goes wrong.

Backup

For your data safety, QuickPlanX provides you more control over your data, by allowing you to backup your projects stored on iCloud database to files. QuickPlanX can backup the project to files with the .quickplanx file extension automatically when you open them. You can also set the backup frequency and the location where the backup files are stored, or disable the backup feature from the settings.

Backup Settings

Backup Location​

  • On the device: This option will save the backup files on your local device, such as your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can access the backup files from the Files app on your device.
  • On the iCloud Drive: This option will save the backup files on your iCloud Drive, which is a cloud storage service that you can access from any device with your Apple ID. You can access the backup files from the Files app on your device, or from the iCloud website on any web browser.

Backup Frequency​

You can choose how often to backup your projects from the following options:

  • Do not create a backup: This option will disable the backup feature. No backup files will be created or updated when you open your projects.
