Today, we will look at the process of backing up the program settings of APBackup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The program saves settings in two files:
\n
\n
\narhatsks.bpd \u2013 contains task settings
\nAPBackup.ini \u2013 contains the parameters configured in the \"Main Options\" menu
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

To move APBackup<\/a> to another computer or restore the program, you will need the program distributive of any version and these two files.<\/p>\n

Up to version 3.5, APBackup<\/a> saved configuration files to the program installation folder. By default, this is C:\Program files\apbackup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting from version 3.5, APBackup saves data to the same files, but in the common \u201cAll Users\u201d folder:
\n
\nC:\Document and settings\All users\Application data\APBackup <\/code><\/p>\n

To start the program \u201cthe old way\u201d (using the settings from the APBackup installation folder), start the program with the following parameter<\/p>\n

APBackup.exe localcfg<\/code><\/p>\n

In this case, you will also need to add a parameter to the program\u2019s registry key:<\/p>\n

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\APBackup_starter\Parameters
\n AppParameters=\"service localcfg\"<\/code><\/p>\n

You can create an APBackup<\/a> task that will back up its own configuration files. That\u2019s where you may want to use environment variables<\/a> to specify the backup source in the task settings, for instance:<\/p>\n

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\APBakup*.*
\n%USERPROFILE%\*.*
\n%PROGRAMFILES%\*.*<\/code><\/p>\n

You can also use this method to configure APBackup on one computer using environment variables (%USERPROFILE%, %SystemDrive%, %SystemRoot%, %ProgramFiles%,:) and then copy ArhTasks.bpd to all workstations where APBackup is installed.<\/p>\n
