Local and cloud backup, recovery, and accountant export.

Maintained by , Founder · Updated

This is where EVRST shines. You control your data.

Local Backup

Your data is stored in a local database file (evrst.db) on your machine. You own it. You can:

  • Copy it to a USB drive

  • Email it to yourself

  • Back it up to a NAS

  • Copy it anywhere you want

There is no vendor lock-in.

Cloud Backup (Optional)

If you want an off-site backup:

  1. Go to Settings > Backup

  2. Connect your personal Google Drive account

  3. Toggle Cloud Backup on

  4. Set a schedule (daily, weekly, etc.)

EVRST will automatically backup your entire database to your Google Drive folder. Only you control access.

Google Drive backup and restoring a backup into the app are full-version features. During the free trial you can still create and download local backups as often as you like, so your data is always yours to take.

Data Recovery

If your machine fails:

  1. Install EVRST on a new machine

  2. Go to Settings > Backup

  3. Select your backup from Google Drive

  4. Restore

You are back in business in minutes with zero data loss.

Export for Accountant or Auditor

You can export:

  • Individual invoices as PDF

  • All invoices as CSV for spreadsheet analysis

  • Tax-ready reports

  • Stock lists

  • Customer lists with transaction history

This data can be handed to your accountant, auditor, or imported into other systems.
