Software Backup & Restore

Overview

The Backup and Restore  feature is useful when transferring all your user files from one computer to another. This may happen when you upgrade your computer and wish to install a new version of Your SOFTWARE to the new machine with all your existing user files and settings.

The Backup process is also useful for saving all your important user files and settings. It is also good practise to regularly backup your user files, just in case there is a problem with your computer and you need to restore your user files in the future.

The User files available for Backup and Restore consist of the following:

• Quotes,
• Charts,
• Scans,
• Portfolios,
• Alerts,
• Wall Chart Settings,
• Log Files,
• Download Files,
• Application Settings,
• Chart Defaults, and
• Option Defaults.

Your SOFTWARE has 2 powerful built in Wizards to perform all user file Backups and Restores.
