How do I back up and restore my Rain Bird App so I don’t lose my settings and connected irrigation controller(s)?

Why does my system still water even after turning the controller off?
If your controller is off and the water keeps running there is an issue with 1 or all the valves. When this happens it may be necessary to clean or replace a valve, or to call a contractor. For assistance in getting a contractor referral please call: 1-800-RainBird.
Why is my controller not watering the run times I set the zones for?
This issue is likely caused by the seasonal adjust setting. Double check the setting in the App or at the controller. If the seasonal adjust is less than nominal, the run times will be shortened accordingly.
Why does my controller run through all my zones, stop, and then start all over again?
You may have programmed multiple start times scheduled close together. Double check all of your start times and run times. If you have run times that amount to more watering time than the time between the start times, the watering program may begin again immediately after finishing.
