Before a Project Backup zip file can be created you need to create the configuration for the project.

Setup for Project Backup

The configuration is saved against the current project.

First, specify whether the project group, if any, is to be included, if it is then any subsequent settings apply to all the projects in the group. To have subfolders from the project folder included select 'Include All Subfolders'. 'Include Other Files in folder' controls if files in the projects folder are included, i.e. icons or the .scc files in the projects folder would be included in the zip.

If 'Store Path' is included then the path to each file is set in the zip file. If 'Show Progress' is selected then a progress bar indicating progress will be displayed. 'Compress Level' controls the level of compression used in the zip. This includes the option, 'None', which enables quick zip creation if many files are to be backed up on a regular basis.

Next, set the name to be used for the zip file, if 'Use Default Name' is selected then the projects name will be used, if not then a name is required. You have two options for the location for the zip. If you want to keep a backup for each day of the week select 'Use Different Location on Different Days' and provide a path for each day required. To have a single backup location uncheck the option and enter the path.

Note: Whatever the settings any existing zip files are automatically overwritten.
