# Forks information

# Neko

This fork can only restore MangaDex entries in a backup. If there are entries from other sources that are a part of that backup then they will not transfer.

# TachiyomiAZ, TachiyomiSY and TachiyomiEH

These forks have some built-in extensions, namely: E-Hentai, Hitomi.la, and nHentai for TachiyomiAZ and TachiyomiEH while TachiyomiSY only has E-Hentai.

Titles from said extensions will not be restored when restoring a backup made by these forks to standard Tachiyomi. It is possible to restore titles to these forks, but it is not possible to back them up out of these forks.
