Back up Formuler MYTVOnline before you reset the box
Preserve your MYTVOnline 3 or 4 settings on a private USB drive and verify the restore option before clearing anything.
IPTVBlogs editorial desk · 
If you want to keep favourites and service settings before resetting a Formuler box, use MYTVOnline’s own backup feature and check that you can find the resulting file. Formuler documents backup and restore for MYTVOnline 3 and 4. Its same-device caution means you should verify portability with Formuler before using the backup as a plan to move a subscription to a different box.
Check which settings you can restore
Write down the app version, model, and what you would miss after a reset. Formuler describes saving the content manager and settings along with records such as favourites, channel history and locked channels. For different hardware, ask the streaming provider to confirm the registration and transfer rules.
Formuler calls for an external drive with at least 2 GB available, formatted as FAT32 or NTFS, and asks users to disconnect other USB accessories during backup or restore. Use an empty or already prepared drive you control. A drive format erases existing files. Check the drive’s contents before formatting it.
| App version | Where to start |
|---|---|
| MYTVOnline 3 | Settings → Backup & Restore Options |
| MYTVOnline 4 | Menu → Settings → App Settings |
| MYTVOnline 2 or an uncertain version | Verify that version with Formuler before following these steps |
Check the backup before changing the box
Choose Backup, let the progress finish, then confirm the file is on the external drive. Keep the original on the drive and make a private copy if the backup is your only way to recover a large favourites list. A portal list may contain account information. Treat the file as private even if its filename contains no identifying text.
If you need to restore on the same box, select Restore from the matching menu and leave the USB drive connected until the progress completes. Open one permitted feed, look at a favourite group and check whether the lock and guide state are what you expected. If the source still will not connect, record the exact stage of failure. A successful restoration cannot reactivate a service account that was suspended or bound to other hardware.
If a reset is optional, keep the old configuration until you have a readable backup and the provider confirms you have a supported way to reconnect. Saving a file and successfully recovering playback are separate checks. A good recovery note records which version made the backup and where you stored it, without pasting the portal address.
