From this menu, you can either:
- Backup to a tab-delimited text file, or;
- Backup to a comma-separated text file.
If you want to analyse the backup file in another application for example, Microsoft Excel then you should check the manual for that application to determine which text format they prefer.
You should backup your data regularly.
It is important that you do not move the backup.txt file from the Weight a'Minute folder. Weight a'Minute looks for that file when you want to restore data.
Restore From Backup,...
To restore your data, go to the Utilities menu. (Scroll back up the page if you cannot see what the utilities menu looks like.) From this menu, you can either:
- Replace the data in Weight a'Minute with whatever data is in the backup file; or
- Add the data in the backup file to the data that is in Weight a'Minute.
If you choose to use the "replacing data" option, please be careful that you are not going to be losing any data, as there is no undo.
