The automated backup option is aimed at converting the MLK database to a non-proprietary format. I.e. even if MLK no longer runs and Xequte disappears (never gonna happen ) you still have your contact entries in a format that any database or spreadsheet can understand.
In terms of actually backing up your database and settings, you should include MLK's key folders in your backup schedule.
If I do a drag copy or ZIP DB directory does that have all the config files too? (Or are some config files stored in the PGM directory?)
If I do the copy the DB method, when I restore (copy/unzip) does the directory structure have to be the exactly same? Or can I put it in a new location? Original computer - C:\DB\myfiles Can copy to C:\MLK\DB\myfiles or D:\MLK\DB\myfiles
I have my DBs in c:\comp1 c:\comp2 and c:\comp3 . I just checked with Ctrl+Shift+I and it appears all the files are contained in c:\comp# and in the subdirectories below.
It has been around for a while now (over 60 released versions) so it has had some time to mature
Also it helps that we use MailList King extensively ourselves so we are quick to notice any problems (it was originally a purely inhouse tool for managing our own mailing list).
Question on back- up options.
