6.8. Backup the Data Files

The backup feature is accessible from the Windows Start Menu, or inside the application on the Main Screen off the File Menu. Click File then select Backup/Restore Data, then Backup Data.

This will open a window for you to select where you would like to save the backup.

By default, the backup file is named boxminderfiles(withtoday'sdate).zip. The location is the data folder in the Boxminder software. The location can be changed. For example if you wanted to save the file to a flash drive or some other portable media device by clicking on the folder at the end of the name field and browsing to where you want to put the backup file to.

This is useful if you are moving the software to a new machine. Once you have made your save location selection, click on Save.

If everything went as planned, you will see the above screen.
