Backup and Restore


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.

Automatic Backup

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.

Backup

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.

Restore

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.
