Is Important!

Be ready for the unexpected. You might change important settings by accident and have problems to undo the changes. Your phone might break or get stolen or you may get a virus. To easily return to status you've been at, settings should be exported on a consistently basis..

Best practice is to export after change of settings or completing an objective.

Exported settings should be copied to a cloud storage or your computer, better two different locations as you can also get virus. So, you are prepared for loss or damage of your AAPS phone and do not have to start from zero.
