Studying across a phone, tablet, and laptop is convenient;until your progress gets scattered. If you use the iMD app for question banks , you can sync important study data such as highlighted MCQs, unsolved questions, and your progress;by using iMD’s built-in Backup and Restore feature.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

• Your IMD Login Credentials
• The same question bank database downloaded on both devices.
• Stable Internet access

Step 1: Generate a Backup Code on Your Main Device

Use the device that already has your progress (your “main device”).

1. Open the iMD app
2. Go to your Question Banks / Databases
3. Open the same QBank you want to sync
4. Scroll down inside that QBank
5. Tap Backup
6. Tap Generate Backup Code
7. iMD will show a backup code.
8. Copy and save the backup code

Tip: Paste it into a notes app temporarily or send it to yourself securely.

✅ At this point, your progress for that specific QBank is now packaged into a backup code.

Step 2: Restore Your Data on Your Other Device

Now switch to your second device (phone/tablet/another platform).

1. Install the iMD app and log in with the same account
2. Download the same database / QBank
3. Open that QBank
4. Scroll down
5. Tap Restore
6. Paste the backup code you copied from the main device
7. Confirm to restore

✅ Your highlights, progress, and related QBank data should now appear on the second device.

Important Tips (Avoid Common Sync Mistakes)

• Restore only works if the database matches. If you generate a code from Qbank, you must restore into same QBank
• Also make sure the MONTH AND THE YEAR of the QBank Match in both devices
• Keep the backup code private. It represents your personal study data.
• If you use multiple QBanks, repeat the same process one QBank at a time.

Troubleshooting: Backup/Restore Not Working?

Here are quick fixes for the most common issues:

“Restore failed” or “Invalid code”

QBank doesn’t show in downloads / database list won’t load (Android)

You can’t find Backup/Restore

FAQ

Does this sync everything automatically?

This method is a manual sync using a backup code. It’s fast and reliable when you study on multiple devices.

Can I use the same code on more than one device?

Usually, yes‐if you want multiple devices to mirror the same QBank progress. Keep your code safe and consistent.

Can I sync across Android, iOS, and desktop?

Yes you can sync across any platform through this method.

If you study on more than one device, the Backup + Restore (backup code) workflow is the simplest way to keep your iMD QBank progress consistent—especially for things like highlighted MCQs and unsolved questions.
