Pre-upgrade question. Is there a backup option?

[Cairncross]

Can't find this option referenced anywhere.

Is there a way to backup current setting and history before upgrading to newer version?

I'm worried that the upgrade will overwrite.

Upgrades never overwrite settings because those settings are saved in a different location on your hard drive.

Thanks for the reply. Still I wonder. If the computer should require a reformat for some reason, is there a backup option?

 

[stanbusk]

There is no backup option. You just need to copy the data manually. The location depends on your operating system.

On Mac OS X:

Preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/Maxprog/MaxBulk Mailer
Lists: ~/Documents/MaxProg/MaxBulk Mailer

On Windows XP:

Preferences: C:\Documents and Settings\<your_account_name>\Application Data\Maxprog\MaxBulk\
Lists: C:\Documents and Settings\<your_account_name>\My Documents\Maxprog\MaxBulk Mailer\

On Windows Vista:

Preferences: C:\Users\<your_account_name>\AppData\Roaming\Maxprog\MaxBulk Mailer\
Lists : C:\Users\<your_account_name>\Documents\Maxprog\MaxBulk Mailer\
