SyncDocs Backup and Restore

We recommend that you use the iTunes file sharing interface for backup and restore, as it is a much simpler process, has fewer steps, and requires no additional software on your computer. However, if you still prefer to use SyncDocs, then please continue with the instructions below.

To backup and restore data for the Accounts or Ace Budget application to your Mac or PC, you will need to do the following:

Installing SyncDocs on Your Mac or PC

Download the SyncDocs desktop client for your operating system from the SourceForge website.

SyncDocs Client for OS X
SyncDocs Client for Windows
*Note: After clicking on the link above, you will see the line "Your SyncDocs download will start shortly..." Please be patience as the SyncDocs folder is being downloaded to your computer. We advise that you do NOT clink the "direct link" or "mirror" URLs, as some users have reported issues when downloading via these links.

For Mac OS X, first create a folder to hold your SyncDocs backups. For example "MySyncDocsBackup". Next, copy the content of the SyncDocs-0.6.5 folder (11 files total) to the backup folder you created. From the backup folder, click on the executable file SyncDocs to launch the SyncDocs client.
