How do I back up my data and restore it?

Open Settings › Data › Backup & Data and tap Back up now. A backup holds every transaction, category, account, rule, budget and template. Save it to iCloud or Google Drive, or keep it on the phone and share the file. A backup restores on iPhone or Android, and restoring replaces what is on that phone. Backup comes with Pro.
