Camera Roll Backup
When backing up the camera roll for the first time, it is recommended to leave the app open and have the charger connected.
1. Backup Now
2. Backup Mode
- Auto Backup (recommended) - backup the camera roll and additions afterward.
- Manual Backup - manually select photos to backup.
- Custom Backup - specify backup source (Android only), only photos or videos, and specific dates.
3. Backup Settings
Backup Device - select an Amber device if there is more than one.
Destination Folder - specify the backup location (default is MyDevices/[Device Name]/Camera Roll).
iCloud Photos (iOS only) - backup iCloud Photos.
Enabling Background Backup will allow Amber iX to continue backing up photos while the app is minimized. To enable:
Go to Settings > Backup & Upload > Background Service.
Run in the Background: Indefinite with enough power
Camera Roll Backup: Enable
Download & Upload: Enable
Note: Please be aware that there is a limit to how long an app can run in the background, whether iOS or Android. There is a strict limit by iOS to limit background activity by Apple with the exception of its Camera Roll/Photos app. iOS will close the app even if we enable it to run indefinitely and/or will be closed due to a large battery drain from excessive background activity.
