Import / Export Database

All information about courses, players and games is stored in a database.

Importing and Exporting Database features make it possible to save the database in the documents folder and import databases from the documents folder.

Importing and Exporting databases can be useful to transfer all information from one device to another device, as well as allowing for backups to be made.

Note: When a database is imported, it replaces all existing information in the database. This action can not be undone, the course, player and game information will be lost completely and can not be recovered.
