Backing Up and Restoring OnePager Files for Version 7.0
Overview
1) It is always a best practice to backup local files on your computer to assure continuity in the future.
2) Sometimes accidents happen to your that can cause you to lose access to the charts and Templates that you have created with OnePager Pro or Express.
3) These accidents include:
- Loss or destruction of your computer.
- Crash of your hard drive.
- Re-imaging of your hard drive to repair a problem.
- Upgrade of your computer to a new computer or to a new operating system.
Backing Up Files
1) Fortunately, IT departments often make periodic backups of certain folders where you routinely store documents, such as folders under My Documents.
2) Data that are stored in such backed-up folders are recoverable when something unforeseen happens.
3) Since your OnePager files for charts, Templates, color palettes, and custom milestone symbols are standard Microsoft Windows files in standard folders, these files can be backed-up using your own backup processes and tools or those available in your organization or network.
Restoring Files
1) Restoration as needed can also be done by using your own or organizational procedures and processes for restoring folders and files.
2) OnePager Pro or Express does not provide any internal mechanisms for backing up or restoring OnePager files.
Auto-Save
1) In OnePager there is a Auto-Save feature' to assist you with recovering from operating system crashes, laptop battery outages, and other errors where you cannot recover your work effectively.
2) The feature is automatically turned On when you launch OnePager Pro or Express either the Add-in or Desktop application.
3) During the operation of OnePager, the Auto-Save feature saves your chart as a .TAM file in your default chart directory.
4) This is normally in the Documents folder under either OnePager Pro or OnePager Express.
5) The Auto-Save file name is in the form of _AutoSave_projectviewname.TAM.
6) Only the last Auto-Save file saved exists in your default chart directory.
7) An Auto-Save file is written to this folder every five (5) minutes of OnePager Pro or Express’ operation.
8) When you Close OnePager, under normal conditions, the Auto-Save file is deleted so as not to occupy unnecessary storage space.
9) You have the option to turn the Auto-Save feature Off by unchecking the checkbox found on the File tab of the OnePager ribbon at the Options sub-tab.
10) Turning the Auto-Save feature Off causes the feature to remain Off until the next time OnePager is launched where you turn the feature back On as shown below:
