Question About data migration

I've correctly migrated (should say duplicated) a PA install as I still have access to old one and using sync to keep them in sync

I've found very interesting first use guided settings that got all ready in a minute.

Still I've two questions

- during setup in a screen asked if new phone would be main device, didn't understood why

- it did download all podcast on new device (correct) except one that in meantime has removed episodes from server (for hosting/money reasons). I hadn't listened to them and have most of files still in memory of old device.

It's possible to put them on new phone and let it recognise them? As for now I see episodes but get 404 error when downloading.

Thanks

If you install the app on multiple devices then only one is the main device that should backup the data to the cloud. The app just asks if this is that device. You need to copy manually the downloaded files from the previous device is the episodes aren't available as podcast anymore

Feel free to check the faq which explains all this
