WinDates includes a feature that allows you to easily backup your events to a floppy disk or network drive and restore these events at a later date. It is a good idea to perform a backup periodically in case of system failure.
WinDates includes an automatic backup reminder feature that will periodically pop up a window asking if you would like to backup the current event file. This feature can be customized through the Warning Options window.
To backup the events file, select the File | Backup Data menu item. Select the drive and directory to save the backup and press OK. The backup procedure may take several seconds.
To restore a previously backed up events file, select the File | Restore Data menu item. If backup was made to a floppy disk, place the diskette into a drive, enter the drive path or use the browse button and press OK. A window will appear telling you when the Backup was made and verifying that you want to continue with the restore operation. Select Yes to restore.
Warning : Restoring a backup events file will erase all events in the current event file.
