Backing up Data

Post by david63 » 02 Feb 2004 16:34

There has been some discussion recently in the FH User Group about backing up data.

It would seem to me that the backup option should backup any and all user files - GEDCOM, mulimedia, custom queries & reports etc.

Could this go on the wish list please? (if it is not already there)

I will add the one for backing up the custom files from the programs area. I have written one, but its not up to release standards yet.

The Media might be interesting as I know some people have their photographs with many others.

I do have a program I wrote to export all the attached media and the gedcom to a specified directory, but I would need to change it not to change the photos as currently it resizes the images and 'chops' up the photos one for each link, this means the file will imports into other programs.
