As of the 3.17 version of Duo, when you open the Duo app in your Mobile device you may see information stating New Feature Available, “Duo Restore makes it easy to get Duo working when you get a new phone.”

You will have two options that you may choose from: Maybe Later and Enable Now.

If you click on Enable Now follow the prompts to enable Duo Restore and back up your Duo security data to Google Drive out on the cloud.  You will need to have a @gmail.com account set up on your device already, or you can set one up. 

1. Tap on Enable Now.
2. Tap on a Gmail account if one is shown on the next page. If a Gmail account is not shown on the page you will be prompted to add one. 
3. Once you have chosen a Gmail account, the next page will ask if you wish to let Duo use some features on your device (i.e. the camera). Choose Allow.   
4. You should then be told that you have successfully backed up your Duo security data to Google drive.

If you choose Maybe Later you can use Duo without using the Restore feature.   You will be presented with a screen that tells you that you can set up Duo Restore in the future from the Settings area of the Duo App.  Once you click on Maybe Later, you should not be presented with the Duo Restore prompt again when you open up Duo on your Mobile device.
