Sync and backup are different machines, so it helps to know which one you want. Syncing keeps this phone and every other device you sign in on holding the same thing. It catches up after a dead zone. Backup is yesterday and the day before, kept on a schedule you don't set.
Restore Points are the backup half. They live in Settings, under Sync and backup. Each one is a copy of your account as it stood at one moment, kept on our servers.
How many you get
Buhata takes a copy only when the app syncs. There's no timer, so a day when none of your devices syncs adds no copy.
- Free: one copy a day. Buhata keeps the newest 3.
- Plus: up to one an hour, each kept for 24 hours, and one a day. Buhata keeps the newest 7 daily copies.
- Premium: up to one every 30 minutes, each kept for 24 hours, and one a day. Buhata keeps the newest 30 daily copies.
The daily copy is your account as it stood before its first sync of the day, with the day counted in UTC. Buhata keeps daily copies by count. If you skip some days, the oldest one you have reaches further back than 3, 7 or 30 days. No copy stays past 90 days, on any plan.
Restoring one
Open Restore Points, pick a copy by the day and time it was taken, and confirm. The copy replaces what's on your account. It goes up right away, and every device signed in to your account takes it when it next syncs. An edit made on another device after the restore stays. A restore leaves shared Spaces alone, and their rows stay as the Space holds them now, for everyone in it.
Before the copy lands, Buhata saves what this device held, and that save is kept on this device only. A band on the Sync and backup screen then offers Put the old data back or Keep what I restored. The band goes away when you press one, sign out or switch accounts. Put the old data back undoes only what the restore changed. Anything written since, on this device or another, is kept. Putting it back reaches every device too, and it doesn't leave a band of its own.
Deleting a repeating entry is a different question
Tap a repeating money entry, such as a bill, on one of its days. Buhata asks which you meant: Delete this occurrence, Delete this and future or Delete entire series. Answer that and you usually won't need a restore point at all.
If you cancel a paid plan
Nothing is deleted the day you cancel, because the plan runs to the end of what you paid for. When a paid plan or a free trial ends, Buhata holds your daily copies for 30 days. It keeps up to 30 of them, Premium's count, whatever plan you had. Free shows you the newest 3, and the rest stay out of sight. Come back to a paid plan inside those 30 days and they show again: the newest 7 on Plus, or all of them on Premium. Copies taken during the day still go after 24 hours. After the 30 days, the next copy Buhata takes trims the daily copies back to Free's 3.
Moving from Premium to Plus without canceling isn't covered. The next copy Buhata takes trims the daily copies to Plus's 7.
Taking a copy that is yours to keep
Restore Points are kept with your account on our servers. For a copy you hold yourself, use Email me my data in Settings, under Privacy and data. Buhata emails a download link to the address you sign in with. The download works once, and the link expires after 24 hours. You can ask up to 3 times an hour. The download is a zip holding buhata-data.json and README.txt. It lists your restore points by when each was taken, without what's in them. The README says some operational and security records, and some newer features, are kept outside the file. For those, write to [email protected] and we'll answer within 30 days.
