QSBackup

QSBackup is provided by DeltaPoint, Inc. free to QuickSite users to help avoid loss of valuable data due to corruption of database files from system crashes and other unexplained

causes.

QSBackup WILL NOT WORK with future QuickSite versions, as they will provide the same functionality as a built-in menu option and will use a different xBase file format.

Before you begin…

QSBackup.EXE must be in the same directory as QS.EXE, the main QuickSite (v1.x or v2.0x) program. QSBackup.EXE will maintain "staged" backup copies of project files in folders

WITHIN the program folder.

NOTE  QSBackup will only find projects where the folder name is the same as the .DBF filename. For example, the following project would NOT be found by QSBackup because the mysite folder is not the same name as project1.dbf.

        C:\QS\mysite\project1.dbf

To make the above project accessible by QSBackup, rename it as...

        C:\QS\project1\project1.dbf

To use QSBackup

(These instructions apply to the STANDALONE version)

1.	To start QSBackup, run QSBackup.EXE.

QSBackup opens a picklist of folders in which a .DBF file with the same name as the folder exists. (No further checking is done to assure this is a QuickSite project file.)  If no .DBF files exist, the picklist displays "<no backups found>".

2.	Select a project by double-clicking the row.

QSBackup opens a box with a list backups found for the selected project. The list is drawn from files found in the ..\BACKUP folder under the selected project.

Three columns display Filename, Backup Date and Time, and Combined Filesize (of the several files sharing that name). The total of all file sizes is displayed at the bottom.

The box has these action buttons:

Help	Displays this file (QSBackup.txt) in Notepad.
Close	Ends the QSBackup session.
Delete	Removes one set of backup files
Backup	Creates a set of backup files, preserving the data, preferences, and all other files (project library, images, etc.) if Include Support Files is selected (checked).
Restore	Replaces the current project data, preferences, and support files with those contained in the selected backup. Caution!! ... The current project files WILL NOT be automatically saved before you restore unless you do a new backup BEFORE restoring.
