The honest risk table
Paper registers burn, tear and walk away too — digital records are safer, but only if they exist in more than one place. Phones fall in water, get snatched at bus stops, or simply die the week you're busiest. A backup is the difference between an annoying morning (restore, continue) and a business amputation.
How backup works here
- Local first: every entry saves on-device instantly, fully offline (offline mode).
- One-tap manual: back up before closing day, before a software update, or "just because".
- Automatic schedule: set it once; backups ride along whenever connectivity appears.
- Google Drive / cloud: copies land in your own account — your Google login, your control.
- Clean restore: new phone + sign-in + restore = whole shop back, including khata history.
The routine we actually recommend
Daily automatic if your shop WiFi is reliable; otherwise a weekly habit tied to something you never skip — Friday prayer, Sunday stock check, month-end review. The full walkthrough lives in how to backup shop data. Pair it with sensible device hygiene: screen lock, app lock, and telling nobody your PIN — data responsibility details are in our privacy policy.
