Overview

---

The backup and restoring preferences of 4th Dimension are available as a separate XML file. 4th Dimension uses the data of this file to display the options in the Preferences dialog box and whenever a backup or restore operation is launched.

It is possible to get and modify the backup parameters using the XML commands of 4th Dimension or via any XML editor.

The backup and restoring preferences XML file is named Backup.XML. It is created automatically at the following location:
DatabaseFolder/Preferences/Backup/Backup.XML

... where DatabaseFolder represents the folder containing the structure file of the database. The Preferences/Backup/ subfolders are created automatically when necessary.

This manual lists the XML keys used in the Backup.XML file. A description is provided for each key, as well as the equivalent option in the Preferences dialog box (where applicable), the values accepted and the default value.

For more information about a specific option, please refer to its description in the 4th Dimension Design Reference manual.

All the XML keys related to the backup function are found in the Preferences4D / Backup / item.
