+===== Is it possible to automatically synchronize my data on the Cloud? =====
+Yes, simply use your favorite Cloud application to synchronize any of the storage folders used by the application. [[en:help:settings:storage|Here is a description on all folders that are used by the application]]. Most likely, you'll want to synchronize the ''"**/landmarks/**"'' folder which is the default folder for all the placemarks you've created (waypoints, tracks, routes, areas).
+{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} Please note that "synchronizing" does not mean "backuping". If you delete some items on your device, they will also be deleted on your Cloud after a sync.
+Here are some example of applications you can use (we are not related to any of them):

+===== How to backup my data? =====
+The application saves all its data by default in its application folder. You can find how to [[en:help:settings:storage#how_to_locate_the_application_folder|locate this folder as explained here]].
+In order to backup all your data, you can simply create a ZIP archive of this folder (it will include all data including stored areas), or only a sub-folder (for example the ''"**/landmarks/**"'' folder that contains all your placemarks).
+Finally, you can copy this ZIP file on your favorite cloud (Drive, Dropbox, ...) or on your computer using your USB cable.
+You'll be able to restore it whenever you need, for example if you have a new device.
