Data Backup
Select the Backup' tab to activate the data backup screen.
The backup feature in Taggtool provides a fast and easy way to back up all of your tagged files across all of your databases.
For each database selected, Taggtool will copy the tagged files into a compressed zip file which you can then burn on to a CD or DVD for later recall in the event of data loss.
To access the backup feature select the 'Backup' tab on the main screen.
By default, Taggtool will save any backups in a directory named 'dbbackups' under the 'Tagg' directory inside your user home directory.
If you wish to change this location click the Change button, this will open a directory chooser dialog from which you can select a different directory.
If you wish to view the current contents of the backup directory, click the folder button next to the change button, this will launch a window displaying the contents.
The backup feature creates a compressed zip file inside this directory when the backup process is run, by default this file name is auto-generated and uses the following format:
taggbackup-Day Month DayNumber HHMMSS TimeZone 4-digitYear.zip
An example output file would be named:
taggbackup-Thu May 24 074855 BST 2007.zip
You can override this name by simply entering a new name into the Backup file name text field.
If you are running multiple backups, i.e. creating a separate backup file for each database you can click the 'Generate' button in order to generate a new unique file name for each database you are backing up.
The next step prior to running the backup process is to select which databases you would like to backup, you do this by highlighting the database name in the list box.
After selecting which databases you are backing up, click the 'Backup' button to activate the backup process.
When running you will be given realtime feedback on the backup progress via the status table as well as the console at the bottom of the screen.
If you need to abort the backup, you can do so at any time by clicking the 'Stop' button.
