How to Export or Restore a Backup File (Free)

You don't need Hunter Vault Cloud or an account for this. In Settings, under Data and support, open Data backup and tap Export. The file is made on your phone and works offline. Then choose where to keep it, like a cloud drive, your computer or Save to Files. The file name has the date, so you can keep more than one.

The backup includes your accounts, transactions, budget categories, bills, goals, debts and hunter progress. Receipt photos and Huntee chats aren't included. To restore, tap Restore and choose the file, and you'll see what's in the backup before anything changes. Restoring replaces all the data in the app and can't be undone, and then the app reloads with your backup. Export a fresh one now and then, especially before you switch phones.
