Backup Settings

Each time you close EZGenerator, backup of the current project is created. You can use these backups when your project gets corrupted because of a power failure or computer reset.

When you reinstall EZGenerator, make sure to manually backup both EZGenerator/data/ and EZGenerator/backup/ folders, and store them on some safe place. After reinstalling simply copy the content of these two folders in the corresponding data/ and backup/ folders in your new EZGenerator installation. It is also recommended to regularly make such manual backup to avoid project lost in case of a computer crash.

Backup Directory

You can select the folder where EZGenerator will store the backup files. The default folder is EZGenerator\backup.

To change this folder, click the Change Bach-Up directory button and select folder in the Browse for Folder dialog.

When you change the backup folder, the existing backup files will NOT be moved to the new location. If you want them moved to the new location, you have to do this manually.

Available backups

This is a list of available database backup files for the current project. The file name consists of: [year][month][day]-[hour][minute]+".zip", where the date and time is the current time at the moment of the backup creation. For example, 20021126-1337.zip means the file was created on 11/26/2002 at 13:37.

• Fast Backup (database backup only) (check box) - If this box is checked, fast backup will be created every time you close current project. Fast backup means that only the databases are backed up. This makes the process of backing up your project faster, but you cannot restore your images or web pages from the backup.
• Make Full Backup every (number spin box) - According to the setting specified in this number spin box, full backup will be created every X days (even if Fast Backup is checked).
• Full Backup (database backup only) (check box) - If this box is checked, full backup will be created every time you close current project. Full backup is safer but slower and larger, depending on the project size.
• Store latest backup on ftp server (check box ) - If this box is checked, latest backup will be uploaded with next upload and stored on your ftp server.
• Include template in backup (check box ) - If this box is checked, current version of used template will be saved inside backup.
• Backups Count Limit (check box & number spin box) - If this check box is not checked, EZGenerator will keep all backups it has created. Otherwise, the oldest backups are automatically deleted to preserve the number of backup files as specified in the number spin box.
• Delete Checked Backups (button) - Press this button to delete all selected backups.
• Recover From Backup (button) - When you press this button, the current project is recovered from the selected backup. Along with this, backup of the current project is created and saved with "restoreCopy" suffix (for example, 20021126-1337_restoreCopy.zip).
