Auto export¶
Gadgetbridge supports 2 types of exports: periodic database / zip exports, and gpx track export.
Database / zip export¶
- Database export - only includes the activities database, and is not a full export of Gadgetbridge. Data such as preferences and gpx files will not be included.
- Zip export - contains all data present in Gadgetbridge, including preferences and other files such as gpx tracks. Can be used to restore a full backup as described in Importing data.
To enable auto-export, go to Settings → Automations -> Auto export database / Auto export zip. You can select the export path, and configure how often it is exported.
To test auto-export if it is working, you can trigger an auto-export at any time by clicking the "Run AutoExport now" button.
Auto GPX export¶
Auto GPX export allows you to automatically export a gpx track when a new GPS activity is synced from your devices.
To enable auto gpx export, go to Settings → Automations -> Auto export GPX tracks. You can select the export directory, as well as select for which devices the gpx tracks will be exported.
Auto FIT export¶
Auto FIT export allows you to automatically export a FIT file when a new activity is synced from your devices. Unlike GPX export, this should allow for any activity to be exported, even without a GPS track.
FIT export is device-agnostic: it works for any device whose parser fills Gadgetbridge's generic activity and track objects, including Xiaomi, Garmin, Huami/Amazfit, Huawei, CMF and Bangle.js devices. For devices that provide their own raw .fit file (Garmin, iGPSPORT) the original file is exported unchanged; for others a FIT file is synthesized from the parsed workout data.
To enable auto FIT export, go to Settings → Automations -> Auto export FIT tracks. You can select the export directory, as well as select for which devices the FIT tracks will be exported.
A single workout can also be exported on demand: open it in the workout details screen and use the share menu → Share FIT File.
