Advanced :: Database management

General

The program requires a separate folder for its database (so not only a single file but a separate directory).

When you run the program for the first time, it creates a "default" database (a folder) in your Documents folder/My Organizer Documents.

You can create new databases by clicking file->new database.

To make a backup of program's database you have to copy the entire folder (in which there always is a file named "_main_data.organizer").

To copy the database created at program's first run, you have to copy '%My Document%\My Organizer Documents\default' folder.

Any files added to items (see 'Relations & Attachments') are stored in a subfolder named 'Files').

Backups

Also, Total Organizer creates backups automatically - for last three days. You can see them under 'Backups' subfolder in database's folder (usually '%My Document%\My Organizer Documents\default').

Restoring data from backup

Use one of the backups - go to the '%My Document%\My Organizer Documents' and copy this folder somewhere (for safety). Now enter the 'default\backups' subfolder and copy the newest 'backup _main_data.organizer' file to '%My Document%\My Organizer Documents\default\_main_data.organizer' (notice the name change - from 'backup _main...' to '_main...'.
