ProjectBackup.cfg Configuration File

Input for: iCDB Project Backup

This configuration file is located at %WDIR%\iCDB\ProjectBackup. It contains the configuration settings for the iCDB Project Backup tool, including settings for how to create, store, and manage log files. ProjectBackup.cfg also contains settings for managing client-specific permissions for various Project Backup tasks.

You can set a default ProjectBackup.cfg file to be applied to a template by placing the configuration file in a directory with the same name as the template, under the template’s directory, as follows:

Template: $WDIR\templates\dxdesigner\pads\<template_name>.prj

ProjectBackup.cfg: $WDIR\templates\dxdesigner\pads\<template_name>\ProjectBackup\ProjectBackup.cfg

Note:

By placing your template and ProjectBackup.cfg file under the $WDIR directory, you can control your ProjectBackup.cfg file at a corporate or group level. See Managing Configuration Files in Centralized WDIR Directories.

Note:

If you make extensive changes to this file, you should back it up in another location. If your iCDB folder is removed or updated, the file you modified could be lost as a new one overwrites it. You should also compare the settings in the new file with those in your saved file before you replace it with your modified file, as new settings that might not be compatible.
