Backing up lists- How?

[steveb-ci]

Hi, how do I backup lists?

At the moment the only way I can see how, is to add all the emails in a list to MaxBulk Mailer, then export and save. I have a lot of lists and this is an extremely time-consuming method. I'm thinking there must be an automated way to do it, but can't see anything.

Actually there is an automated way, the 'File > Settings > Export' menu. That makes settings full backups you can keep or move between computers for transferring data.

Think perhaps you've misunderstood what I want to do. I'm looking for a way to backup the remote email lists.

I don't think the method you've suggested will do that?

Indeed, sorry!

Each time you select a remote list MaxBulk Mailer does a backup copy in the '~/Library/Application Support/Maxprog/MaxBulk Mailer/Backups' folder on macOS and on the 'C:\Users\<your_account_name>\Documents\Maxprog\MaxBulk Mailer\ Backups\' directory on MS Windows.

That is excellent, thank you.

Out of interest, why is such an important feature so hidden? I'd have thought it would be one of the many selling points for the app?

Yes, good question... The MLM and MaxBulk Mailer manuals need a great revision. I am sure we will include that and many other little hidden tricks
