GWintree provides facilities to backup your data automatically or manually, and to restore your data from the backup files.
If automatic backup is enabled, your data will be backed up automatically each session, the first time each file is edited and saved, and thereafter after a preset number of records have been added; and also before any data is merged from another file.
Backup facilities are accessed by selecting Backup from the File menu. You can choose to enable or disable automatic backup; and if it is enabled, to select how many records can be added before the file should be backed up again, and how long a backup file should be kept before being deleted. Files which have been kept longer than the preset time will be deleted automatically. If you wish, you can delete backup files from your disk at any time, for instance in Nautilus.
Selecting Backup from the File menu also enables you to backup your data manually at any time.
To restore data from the backup files, select Restore from the File menu, and select the required file in the displayed dialog-box. If the current version of the file is loaded into the program, you will need to reload the file after it has been restored, by selecting Open from the File menu.
