Backing up your Mailing List
The data in your mailing list is a valuable business asset so it is important that you take precautions against the unexpected. For this reason we recommend that you back up your database and settings on a regular basis.
MailList King also allows you to use the automated back up options to write an export file automatically on close down, you can even have it e-mailed off-site. The advantage of backing up to a text file is that the data is accessible from any database program, not just MailList King. You can manually back up your mailing list by selecting File > Back Up Database
To restore a mailing list from back up select File > Import Back Up File
Note:
For your safety the Back Up function exports your database to a CSV file. This file can be opened by any database or spreadsheet program (such as Microsoft Excel). It can also easily be imported back into MailList King, however the back up does not include: History, Statistics, unsubscribed and blocked addresses or any settings. Therefore you should also manually back up your database and settings folder
It is also advisable to back up the database files (data of the members in your mailing list) and the settings files (all of your mailing list and program configuration). With these files you can download MailList King and completely restore your system after a crash.
Run MailList King and click Ctrl+Shift+I.
From the folder that is displayed check the boxes for configuration and database
Click OK
Add these two folders to your backup schedule (or regularly copy them to another drive or disk)
