Backup up projects....

Scriptcase 9 General
#1

Ok… So I’ve been exporting a project which creates a zip file. Then I’ve been creating a brand new project (naming it backup%date%) then copying all modules to that project. This way if I screw something up I can get the module back without going through the zip. If you have a zip file (from export), how do you restore that? Does that restore everything you need for a project?

I guess the bottom line is this: Copying to a new project is the easiest way? BTW I’m copying all of my backups to my web server and 1tb external drive.

I PREACH backups to my clients, I just need to make sure I’m getting EVERYTHING in case of disaster.

So my question is this: how do you backup your projects?

Thanks…

From the export you can not restore the original. You need backup it using the backup in the settings.

#3

does that backup every project?

Thanks for the reply RR, but I’m a bit confused :confused: on what is backed up when you run the backup. It seems to have backed up all projects, not the
one I was logged in to.

thanks…

There are several ways (as useual). The most drastic way (and I do that when I have a new SC version and want to be able to revert) is to a full backup of the full Scriptcase directory so that I can restore full if necessary. then you can go to the options and create a backup. this one is maintained within SC itself and you can revert back from a backup. Finally you can export and import. This is more on a project level.

You can also Perform a Partial Backup in this option you can select what you want to backup.

I don’t use hard drive. Last time I use hard drive but its crash and lost all my data. My friend suggest me a Ahsay Backup solution. Now I use Ahsay Software for my backup. It is a best backup software and very fast, secure and easy.
