All backups will be stored in an 'Export' folder in the selected Data Directory. MB&G WSG recommends the use of MicroSD cards for MobileMap base data and thus for the Data Directory. By using MicroSD card, automated backups will be stored on external media that can be removed is a device is damaged in the field. When automated backups (MobileMap Cruise only) are used with a MicroSD card, it is possible to recover all data collected during the day even if the mobile device is damaged at the end of a day (e.g., dropped in a stream) by removing the SD card, drying the SD card off and inserting it into a PC, accessing the most recent backup file (e.g. JSON text file) and uploading the new/modified data to the feature service by cutting and pasting into a browser.

This approach produces a full SQLite database (all data, even data that has been downloaded from the feature service and is unchanged). This approach can be useful if a large amount of data must be recovered and the data have not been modified since they were uploaded. In that case, they would not initially be included in the default JSON export format, and using the SQLite format would avoid having to re-save all features just to get them to export. The SQLite format, however, is not a standard Esri offline geodatabase, it is a MobileMap-specific SQLite format. This approach is for expert users as it requires knowledge of SQL/SQLite, and a SQLite viewer/editor (e.g., DB Browser for SQLite https://sqlitebrowser.org/). MB&G WSG can provide instructions for recovering data from this SQLite file to data managers if needed. MB&G WSG can also perform this data recovery as a service upon request.
