Backup Pocket CowCard Transactions

Question: Can I backup my Pocket CowCard transactions?

Answer: Yes, a backup option is available on Android 11+ devices! Pocket CowCard offers the option to backup transactions, which comes in handy while your device is offline and unable to send transactions to DC305. Use this feature if your connection is unstable or if your device is failing or crashing for unknown reasons.

IMPORTANT: VAS recommends using a backup location on the SD card for best recovery chances, as your device storage may become unusable if your device fails.
