====== Backup Center ======

This represents the **Backup Center** dialog reached by ''Double Pinch or Tap'' > ''Launcher options'' > ''Backup center''. Initially, no backups will be shown in the dialog, but it is critical to make one early in the installation/setup process.

Dialog selections are discussed below or next to the image. The image contains **no** navigation selections. To return to the previous page, swipe (right to left), use the browser's return arrow, or select the Backlink icon {{:ui:ui-doku_link-backlink-v4.webp?direct&30|Backlink icon}} from the right sidebar.

A description of the elements in the image is discussed below.

An unchecked box will essentially perform a full restore, using the folders and tags contained within the backup.++
