Backing up Your Data

Smart Way

Sometimes things happen and one can lose their mobile data. Knowing how to back-up your data is especially important for foreigners who don't know Japanese, as they cannot e-mail the developers for help.

To back up your data, simply start up the game, go past the title screen to the map, and go to Options(オプション) on the bottom menu. Then hit データ引継ぎ in the middle left.
Enter a password into both boxes of your choosing (English letters only) and hit the bottom-most button. Write down the Code it gives you AND the password you used.
When you're ready or need to use it, start up the game. At the Title Screen, hit the blue button on the bottom left. Enter the Code in the top box, and your custom password you made in the bottom box. Then hit the green button.

For added safety, it is recommended you create a new Code every time you need to update your game client.

Risky Easy Way

Unlike using the transfer system as a way to recover data, on Android devices under /SD/Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.housamo/files/Data/ is a file labelled AuthKey; this key is used to keep track of account information, and is used to transfer between devices (all the device transfer option does is remove the AuthKey from your device and write it to the new device). You can back this file up onto cold storage, but there's no guarantee that it'll work on further versions.

For iOS, it is unknown where exactly the app stores AuthKey.

AuthKey

You can also copy AuthKey to allow access to the same account on multiple devices, even at the same time (note: you can't abuse this to get double the rewards from a quest, but who knows what other bugs and """exploits""" may be possible).

On the flip side, you can also store multiple accounts on the same device; just back up your AuthKey and reload the app to create a new """account""".

Avoiding the initial grind

Expanding on the use of making the best use out of that AuthKey file; you're guaranteed 10 stones to get 2 companions with; although, you need to keep going through the tutorial and first battle again and again. Didn't get the companion you want? Just delete the AuthKey instead of deleting app data (you'll lose assets downloaded if you do this, but by clearing the AuthKey, you still keep your cache).

Technical Workings Under the Hood

From current understanding, on Android devices, the app stores game information and data under /SD/Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.housamo/files/MasterDatas/ as base64 encoded strings; however, whether or not these files are further encrypted or obfuscated is unknown as well.
