Exporting backups

AWZ offers three export routes, and the first three steps are the same: tap Settings → Export backup records → choose the backup in the top-right corner.

Option 1: export over a cable

1. Tap Export as separate archives in the bottom-right corner.
2. Connect to a computer over a cable and use a tool such as PP Assistant or iTools to copy the backups from /var/mobile/exportdata to the computer.

Option 2: export by QR code

1. Tap Export as one archive with QR code in the bottom-left corner.
2. Wait for the QR code, then scan it on another phone to import (see "Import by QR code" below).

Option 3: export through the file manager

1. Tap Export as one archive with QR code in the bottom-left corner and wait for the QR code.
2. Return to AWZ settings and tap File manager.
3. Open the address AWZ shows (something like 192.168.x.xxx) in a desktop browser.
4. Find the .zip file, tap Download next to it and save it to the computer.
5. Once you have confirmed it is saved, delete the file from the phone.

Importing backups

Option 1: import over a cable

1. Connect to a computer over a cable and use PP Assistant or iTools to place the backup data in /var/mobile/importdata.
2. On the phone, tap Import backup records.
3. Choose an import mode — Direct import is usually the right one.

Option 2: import by QR code

1. The phone showing the QR code and the phone importing must be on the same local network.
2. On the importing phone, tap Settings → Import backup by QR code in the top-right corner of AWZ.
3. Scan the QR code and wait for the download to finish.

Option 3: import through the file manager

1. Tap Settings → File manager → Import folder in the top-right corner of AWZ.
2. Open the address AWZ shows (something like 192.168.x.xxx) in a desktop browser.
3. Drag the backup file into the browser window, or tap Upload file.
4. When the upload finishes, tap Back on the phone, return to settings and tap Import backup records.
5. Confirm the import worked on the phone before deleting the computer copy.

Importing NZT backups

1. NZT backup data lives in /var/mobile/igrimace on the original phone.
2. Copy that data to /var/mobile/nztdata on this device. The imported data should contain one file and one folder.
3. Tap Import NZT backup records.

Slimming backups

1. In AWZ settings, turn on the cleanup switches for log files, crash reports and so on. You can also open Advanced slimming settings and choose the types to clean.
2. Open the backup records, tap Edit, select the backup you want to slim and tap Slim backup.

Using the script API

Turn on Enable HTTP script commands in the app's script settings. AWZ must be in the foreground before you call any command. See the AWZ API for details.

Tips

1. Reset and backup are separate checkboxes. In the app list the first box is reset, the second is full backup — tick only what you need.
2. Restart the app after changing the location. Swipe it away from the app switcher and reopen it before the new location applies.
3. Use direct import in most cases, and pick another mode only when you have to.
4. Confirm before deleting. The red Delete button in the file manager removes files immediately, so make sure the other side has saved its copy first.

FAQ

The location I set did not apply?

Check whether several location settings are active at once. Precedence is: app list > smart random location at reset > map pick.

QR import never finishes downloading?

Both phones must be on the same local network (the same Wi-Fi).

Where does NZT data go?

Take the data from /var/mobile/igrimace on the original phone, put it in /var/mobile/nztdata on this device, then tap "Import NZT backup records".

Backups take up too much space?

Use Slim backup: open the backup records, tap Edit, select the backup and tap Slim backup.
