To keep your data safe, it is important to make regular backups of your work. These backups can be restored if needed.
To make it easy to make backups, Bibledit provides the Backup Assistant. The Backup Assistant is available in menu File / Backup. You can choose what you'd like to backup, whether a Bible, the Notes, or Everything.
- Bible. When backup up a Bible, normally the Bible now focused in the editor will be backed up. You can choose another one.
- Notes. When backing up Notes, all the available notes will be backed up.
- Everything. Backing up everything really takes everything Bibledit knows about. Depending on the number of Bibles that you have, it may take a good while to create this backup.
The next step in the Backup Assistant is to choose the file where you'd like the backup to be saved to.
A backup can be restored through the Restore Assistant.
If Bibledit starts, and notices that it has no data, it will ask for a complete backup. A complete backup is one that was made with the "Everything" option.
The Restore Assistant helps you with restoring a backup. The assistant is available through menu File / Restore. You can restore a Bible, or the Notes, of Everything. When restoring everything, the data will be available after restarting Bibledit.
- There are other ways of safekeeping the data of a Bible. You can export the data. See the Export Assistant.
