CFL Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Good afternoon all. A (hopefully ) quick question: I'm running HO and HOe using a Roco Z21 and wifi I have done all the loco prgramming on an Acer tablet running Android without problem (except 1 Uhlenbrock decoder which was an utter pain) I have a Roco wlanMAUS So, like the title says, I want to export the information from the tablet to the maus but without losing it from the tablet - better to have backup. Can I do this with the send / receive option in the Roco Z21 software or should I store the settings on the SD card I put into the tablet before doing anything? Obviously I could just stick with the tablet but it is rather bulky compared to the maus and I want to wander around the tracks peering at my little empires. Note the plural, due to lockdown I started on 1 layout, buying buildings, vehicles, track and rolling stock etc until I ended up with 5 ongoing projects! Space - the final frontier...

WIMorrison Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Unfortunately the Maus only has local memory and the Z21 software is in a completely different format. whqt I am saying is that you cannot transfer anything from a tablet or phone to a Maus. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamThomas Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 In your position I would backup the tablet ASAP - I had an Acer tablet that failed & had to start again with a Samsung. The computer shop did not have a high opinion about Acer reliability &/or performance. My Acer desktop is rubbish too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The easiest way to backup the data for the Z21 app on the tablet or phone is simply to email the layout to yourself. If you do this then you have it on a completely different device in a completely different place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFL Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 The e-mail idea, although strange, sounds good. I would, of course, have to send it my Acer p.c. I certainly wouldn't send it to my wife's Toshiba laptop which is achingly slow. Thanks for the help guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 If you are using SMTP mail, which almost everyone now uses, then it doesn’t matter where you send it as it a copy of the mail will be held on your email company server - until you delete it or close the account 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
