Backup and Restore
To access Spartan's built in backup system, click "Backup and Restore" on the Tools menu.
The location shown in the Data Folder box is where Spartan currently saves your clip data. On first installation, this will also be the default folder nominated by the version of Windows you are running. (The default data folder differs from one version of Windows to another)
Note
Portable and U3 editions only have the Select folder button and the backup and
restore options.
To Backup and Restore
To Backup your data Click the "Select Folder" button and select the folder you want to backup to.
Then click this button.
To restore from a previous backup, select its folder and click the restore button.
To keep your data somewhere else (Not available in the portable or U3 editions)
To keep your data other than in the default folder, select a folder and click here
This option is useful if you like to keep all your data under a single folder to use a system wide backup program.
To switch between two different data folders (Not available in the portable or U3 editions)
If you wish to use clips from a backup without actually restoring them, click this button.
Note
Unless you have strong reasons not to, we advise that you keep your data in the default folder. If you upgrade your Windows from XP to Vista, the upgrade will move your clips to the new default folder for the Vista operating system. If you keep your data somewhere else, it won't.
