# Back up survey on android

Asked by Gianirazabsekh on 2019-08-06

Hello Team, 

I am Giani RazabSekh from Suriname, I have been using Openforis for two years now conducting forest inventories. Great Application

My fieldcrew imported a new survey and all my data is now gone. I asked my field workers to back up data when they were in the field, unfortunately there was no SD card in the tablets. However, the field workers did get a notification that its backed up on local storage. When try to find these backed ups I see several files stored under the title "surveys-1542292967097". Within i see my survey folder and finally some  files e.g. collect.db, collectdbjournal etc. What are these files, was my data backed up? What should i do next?

Thank you.
