Export/store comments and other metadata for reinstall/archv

Post by Squish »

Does this feature exist already? Aside from generating a report and storing that (and I haven't checked to see if comments are stored there), I'd like to be able to store comment fields and historical data in order to re-import it after a windows reinstall. If I can set a custom directory for this (which would then be autobacked/clouded/etc.) then that would be grand.

I'm happy to do this manually for the time being though, but I haven't determined where the settings/reports/history are stored on the disk.

Yes, such feature already available ;)

See: Configuration -> Update -> Backup configuration to save all logs, comments, settings, statistics, registration and activation details to a single file.

Later, after reinstall, this file can be load back by Configuration -> Update -> Restore configuration and then the software will immediately re-load everything: all settings, statistics, comments, etc. will be immediately available, just like before.

Also you may consider using the Configuration -> Advanced options -> Change folder to store statistics and settings option, as then you can specify a folder to store everything. So you can periodically backup it.
