How to restore a database from a backup in the BCR for iOS?

Answer

To restore a database from a backup, add the archive file to ABBYY Business Card Reader documents to restore the contacts:

Mac:

  1. Connect the device to a Mac and open Finder.
  2. Select your device in Locations. Open the Files tab.
  3. Select ABBYY Business Card Reader in the list of applications with common files.
  4. Copy the Abbyy_auto/user_xx-xx-xx.bcr.zip file to the ABBYY Business Card Reader.
  5. After the archive file is copied, start the BCR app.
  6. Tap Settings > go to CardHolder.
  7. Tap Restore > Restore contacts.

Windows:

  1. Connect the device to the PC and open iTunes.
  2. Select your device in iTunes. Open the File Sharing page.
  3. Select ABBYY Business Card Reader in the list of applications with common files.
  4. Copy the Abbyy_auto/user_xx-xx-xx.bcr.zip file to the ABBYY Business Card Reader Documents window.
  5. After the archive file is copied, start the BCR app.
  6. Tap Settings > go to CardHolder.
  7. Tap Restore > Restore contacts.

Note: Recovering large backup files takes some time. Do not close the application until recovery has been completed.

    It does not work for me with either one of those platforms. I am able to "see" the data files BUT unable to copy them to then be able to paste them in another location for my new phone to use. Help !
