You can save your current state of eCabinet Systems along with data files using the Backup/Restore capability accessed through the File menu.
There are two steps in backing up data. First, we need to define Backup/Restore Settings, then we actually perform the backup or restore process.
Select File - Backup/Restore Settings from the top menu. This opens a backup dialog.
In the top box, specify a directory where you would like the backup data stored or retrieved from.
Most areas in the software store data in specific directories so the backup utility can easily locate these files.
Three areas, however, allow you to store data in a directory of your choice. These are jobs, tool files and drawer box files. The backup utility assumes that, for each of these, all files are stored in a directory tree below a single parent directory. You need to specify the parent directory for each of these in the input boxes provided. In this way, the system can find all the files that need to be backed up.
Next, using the checkboxes, specify which files you want backed up.
Check the box if you want the backup directory cleared at the beginning of a backup process.
A second check box authorizes the system to overwrite existing files with the same file name during the restore process. If this is not checked, you will need to authorize this overwrite for each individual file during the restore process.
Once Backup/Restore Settings have been adjusted, you can backup your data by selecting File - Backup My Files from the top File menu selection.
To restore your data, simply select File - Restore My Files from the top file menu.
Once you restore data, you MUST shutdown and restart eCabinet Systems to complete the process.
