scheduling and account settings/preferences backup question
 
#1
0  
I have noticed that upon new install, when you specify your mail directory it picks that up fine, but not the program preferences, so these must be stored in a different location?

If i'm correct, in order to use the bat's internal scheduler, the bat must be constantly running, right?

If I didn't want to do that, could I use my file mirroring utility to back up my program preferences?

I'd need to know the file locations though- can anyone help out with some pointers?

Thanks,
J

Everything you need to backup is inside your mail directory (accounts, messages, filters, address books etc.).
So it's enough to schedule regular rar-ing of the mail folder. To have smaller backups with settings only, you may exclude *.tbb and *.tbi files.

What appears in Options -> Preferences is stored in the registry, to make a backup export the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT
to a .reg file, then you just have to dbl click the .reg file to restore the settings.

I'm saying, that there've been times when I spent some time configuring colors, etc- then when I had to do a fresh install, my mail directory was fine but my color settings etc i'd made were gone, the program was at defaults- you're saying these things are stored inside the registry key you mentioned?

Thanks so much for the tips!
