Thanks for the explanation. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain. I want to build up knowledge and set up everything as good as possible from start, so I don't in the future have missed something when the device brakes down or need to be factory reset (which my experience with electronical things tells me the do sooner or later :-) ).

I do accept that there is no complete and easy way of doing it. Just want to be sure how to practically be able to restore a new/factory reset device.

Basically I only need one thing. How can I restore a new/factory reset device with markups/annotation made in another device. In this moment I never need to use any annotation/markup backup on the computer. And the books are always backuped on both computer and backup harddrive, so I would just copy the books back to a new/factory reset device.

So the question is which of the listed workarounds is best, if I later on need to copy the fetched/backuped markups/annotations back to a new/restored device again and being able to see them when opening the book aganin? And how do I practically do it?

For exampel, when using Annotation plugin and fetching markups/annotations into the Comment field or own created column, how do I later get them back to a new/restored device and get them to function with the book again when opened?

Haven't found any explanation about this so far, only the possibilities and processes of fetching/backup the annotations from the device to the computer.

I tried the "ExportHighlights=true" option, but in the exported file everything is mixed completely with no separation between the highlights. Did I missed something? And if I would have had annotations written to the markups, then it would be even more difficult. And is it possible to use the file when restoring a new/factory reset device?
