Restore with the New Restoration Feature

If you backed up the data using the built-in backup feature, you can easily restore it via the menu item “Manage Backups.”

A list of all available cloud backups from all your devices using the same Apple ID will appear.

An explanation of the buttons can be found under the following image:

All these buttons display a message first explaining what they do and ask if you really want to proceed.

So, if you forget what a button does, you can safely press it and read the confirmation message. You can still cancel if it’s not what you want to do.

When you press the restore button (1), this window first appears with additional information about the backup and what happens during restoration.

There you can review the backup contents and decide whether to restore the backup or cancel.

Restore a .sbkbkp Backup File

The backup files from SongBook+ have the .sbkbkp (SongBook Backup) extension.

If you click on such a file in the Files app or pass it to SongBook+ from another app with “Open in...”, SongBook+ will start and display the window to restore the backup (see above).

There you can review the backup contents and decide whether to restore the backup or cancel.

(On a Mac, you can restore the backup file by dragging it onto the SongBook+ app icon.)

Other Restoration Methods

If you did not back up using the SongBook+ backup feature but manually copied the files, you can also manually copy them back to SongBook+.

Exit SongBook+ before restoring the backup, otherwise copying back the database files will be ineffective (except if you use the Wi-Fi sharing feature)!

The backed-up files are copied back to SongBook+ the same way regular files are copied into SongBook+.

Please refer to the page Inserting Files into SongBook+ for how to copy files into SongBook+ and proceed similarly with your backed-up files.

If one of the two files SongBookMidi.sqlite-shm or SongBookMidi.sqlite-wal was not backed up because it had a size of 0, the missing file must also be deleted on the target iPad beforehand.

The "Inbox" folder can and should not be copied back! It does not contain any required data.

Press the button "...".

Select "Manage Backups."

Restore Backup. This button starts the restoration of the backup.

Permanently Delete Backup. This button deletes the backup from the device and the cloud.

Delete Local Backup. This button deletes the local copy of the backup. It is still available in the cloud and can be downloaded again if needed.

Download Backup from the Cloud. This button downloads a copy of the backup so that it can be restored using button (1).

The buttons for restoring or permanently deleting are only active if the backup has been downloaded (4).
