Back Up your data means to copy your sightings, observer names, custom lists, Hall of Fame entries and notes you have made to a small file. The backup file is an .xml file that defaults to having the date of the backup as part of the file name. The default location where the file is stored is the My Documents folder.
You can have as many backup files as you want. They do not overwrite each other unless you choose to give the file the name of an existing backup file.
Restore Back Up means having eViewer read a backup file and replace anything you currently have as your data (the original software data is unaffected). Any sightings or lists added since the last backup are lost.
To begin a Back Up
From File in the Menu Bar, click Back Up. The Back Up box appears with a suggested name and location for the back up file. Click Save to accept this name and location or make any changes and then click Save.
To begin a Restore
From File in the Menu Bar, click Restore Back Up. Select the file name you would like to use to restore your data and click Open.
