Backup

Flashpaste can back up user data. All settings related to this feature are available on the "Backup" page of the Options dialog box.

Here you can:

• Set the path to the backup folder.
• Activate Automatic Backup mode.
• Set its interval. E.g. if you set "7", a backup will be created weekly (if you run Flashpaste).
• Create a backup manually or quickly open the backup folder.

Hint: It is strongly recommended to use the automatic backup feature to avoid data loss or database corruption.

In addition to automatic backup you can always create a backup manually. All you have to do is select File -> Backup -> Backup Now in the Flashpaste main menu.

What is copied?

• The Common Database currently in use.
• Local Database (only if its use is enabled).
• Configuration file - Flashpaste.cfg. Path to the file "C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Roaming\flashpaste\Flashpaste.cfg".

Note: All copied data is packed into a ZIP archive named "Flashpaste Backup current_date_and_time.zip" and put into the folder that is defined in settings.
