Backing Up the Workspace

Use the Backup Workspace Files option in the Tools menu to access the Backup Workspace Files dialog, where you can create a backup ZIP file of the open Workspace.

NOTE: This option is intended for f ile backups only, as opposed to creating a self-contained Workspace f ile for distribution to remote sites. See

Exporting Workspace Files "To Go" (for Distribution) on page 33

.

1. By default, the target directory and file name for the Backup file match the directory and name of the open Workspace file, with the .ZIP file extension. You can change the name and target location in the Backup File To text box, if necessary.
2. If the open Workspace includes one or more user-defined IR database (.irn) files, select the Include User IRN Database(s) option to include these files in the resulting ZIP file. This option is disabled if the Workspace does not contain any user- defined IRN files.
3. The Progress bar indicates the progress of the backup operation.
4. Once the export operation is done, detailed results of the operation are listed in the Backup Workspace Files Report dialog (FIG. 55).
