Backup

Datasheet internal name: core_Backup

SyncroSim allows users to perform library backups. In essence, library backups are a copy of the library, made at a point in time, and saved to a .ssimbak file. By default, the backup saves all datasheets in the library, but users can opt in or out of saving the external data files, and may choose to perform automatic library backups before software updates.

The Backup system datasheet contains the following fields and options:

Display Name	Internal Name	Optional	Data Type	Default
Include external files in backup	IncludeData	No	Boolean	True
Backup library before applying updates	BeforeUpdate	No	Boolean	True

Include external files in backup

Determines whether the external data files (e.g. GeoTIFF rasters) for the library should be included in the backup folder. If there are many large external data files, it may be beneficial to exclude them from the backup to reduce the size of the backup file.

Backup library before applying updates

Determines whether the library should be backed up before performing software updates.

Note

The paths to the backup folders are set in the Folders system datasheet.
