FAQ
Backup & Restore Q&A
User
Can backup files be used across devices?
Yes. Backup files are .zip archives, which can be transferred between devices. But ensure target device is compatible with the module when restoring.
User
Can KPM modules also be backed up?
Backup function is mainly for APM modules. For KPM modules, it is recommended to save the original .kpm files separately.
User
What if module doesn't work after restore?
Ensure module is correctly placed in module directory, device has been restarted, and module is compatible with current system version.
