I am going to reset my phone back to factory, I do not see and I am unable to locate the Data File Money Manager uses???
Is it hidden?  Is there a way to back it up then restore when I have reset my phone?
Thank You

Hi, if you use Dropbox sync, the database you find in /sdcard/MoneyManagerEx/dropbox/. If not use Dropbox sync the file is stored on private folder of application (like all android apps). You can backup this files using apps such as Titanium Backup or others.
Otherwise, i suggest you create a dropbox account, link the application and upload your current database before you do factory reset
I avaible for any other questions

There should be another option for backing up the database. A lot of people don't like/want dropbox, so there should be a choice what to use for storage (spideroak, tresorit, google drive etc.). Also should bean option to attach the at an e-mail.

I tried Dr Fone Android Recovery not so long ago for my phone. It helps me to find deleted photos twice! So I hope it works for HDD too.

kinds of files on your Android phone can be done. No pain at all. Try this.

Just a quick update. The latest beta now includes support for 4 major cloud storage providers, thanks to CloudRail:
- Dropbox
- Google Drive
- OneDrive
- Box

This should be enough to provide backup, history, and protection of your data. Any other solution is also valid, as the database is just a file.

Any contributions in functionality of the backup and export are welcome.

Titanium Backup app needs your phone being rooted. I am using Androidphonesoft Data Recovery, which has a convenient backup and restore option.

The database file is by default on an Internal Storage in MoneyManagerEx directory.
Any backup tool can be used to simply copy the file to a backup location.

My recommendation would be, if possible, to use a service like Dropbox that also keeps a history of file changes and, besides being a sync point, can also serve as a backup location. I'm not really using sync but mostly keeping the Dropbox synchronization exactly for this purpose.

You are right , from backup files to recover lost data is a effective way , but it depends on the data that has been backed up,
According to the author's title, you'd better use a good third-party tools : How to restore deleted data from Android memory

If you don't have backup, the third party recovery tool is the only solution to get back lost data from your Android. Among lots of tools, MobiKin Doctor will be a good choice.

Hello,
If you have done factory reset of your phone then backup can help you get back your data. But if you have not done any backup then you can use a powerful backup solution known as Android Data Backup & Restore to backup all your important data in safe place. And whenever required you can easily restore them without any difficulty.

Yes, it is wise to back up Android data before factory reset. Of course, using the Android data backup tool is definitely not your only choice. MTP and Google are also doing a good job of backing up.
