Backups and Updates

Automatic Backups

The app saves a backup every day and every time it quits, and keeps the last 14. You can also click Back Up Now in Settings → Backup & Restore.

The backup list in Settings → Backup & Restore

Keep a Copy Somewhere Else

A backup on the same computer won’t help if that computer is lost. Under Also Copy Backups To, pick a USB drive or your Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox folder. Every backup is then copied there too.

If the copy fails (e.g. the USB drive is unplugged), Settings shows an orange note. Your backups on the computer are still made.

Restore a Backup

Pick a backup → Restore. The app checks the file first, restarts, and comes back with that day’s data. Your current data is kept aside until the restore is complete.

Updates

The app checks for a new version once a day. Admins see Update Available at the top.

Settings → About → Install Update. The app downloads the new version, checks it’s genuine, saves a backup, replaces itself and restarts. Your data isn’t touched.

With a one-time purchase, updates are included until the date on your license. After that the app keeps working on your version; Renew to get newer ones.

Your License

Click your picture → License to see your plan, add-ons, user limit and updates date, or to paste a license key or activation code.

Not all features are available in every copy of Distribution App. Some features, such as Payment QR Code, Salesman Locations and Signed Delivery Receipts, are add-ons that must first be switched on in Settings › Features. Once the free trial ends, the app needs a license key or activation code. Distribution App runs on Mac and Windows; staff phones and tablets connect through the office computer on the same Wi-Fi network. Tax records, receipts and reports follow Philippine (BIR) rules and may not suit businesses in other countries. Screens in this guide show the Demo Company — all names, addresses and prices are made up — and may look slightly different from your version of the app. Features may change without notice.
