Description

Hi,
I mistakenly removed all tables related to backup, because there was a problem while saving to my cloud external location.
I removed the app itself and reinstalled it in the hope that everything would be reconfigured as before, including table creation.
But instead, the tables are still missing.

Where can I find the structure of these tables, just to reenable backup app?

Thanks.
