## Backup
OpenTracks stores the data in the app-internal space:
`/data/data/de.dennisguse.opentracks[|.playstore]`
There is a SQLite database `database.db` that contains the tracks as well as the markers.
Pictures attached to markers are stored as separate files.
For backup and recovery, the best approach is to export as one KMZ file.
This will contain all the tracks, pictures and the data as similar as possible as stored internally.
In difference to backing up the database directly, a KMZ allows to be imported into a different (
e.g., newer) version of OpenTracks.
## Project history
_OpenTracks_ is based upon Google _My Tracks app_ ([code](https://code.google.com/archive/p/mytracks/)).
