Yetitablet home screen backup

Please note that this backup is for the home screen layout. We are here describing the process with “Nova Launcher”, which is the default for many of our customers, however other launchers may offer the possibility for creating a backup too.

!Please note that for YetiCare customers we describe the process of making a backup in the section Backup and Restore within the YetiCare manual. Please go to the manual for the YetiCare Launcher settings

Preparations

Assuring that you have a Google-account

Please, make sure that you have a Google account on your Yetitablet. You can check it by swiping down from the top and opening the settings via clicking onto the settings cog icon. Scroll down to the section named Accounts. Please click on “Accounts” and find out whether you have a Google account added to the Yetitablet or alternatively add it by pressing the row with the +-sign “Add account”.

Saving the Backup

Local storing
