Hallo,
it would be helpful if one could set the path for the backup.
I would like to direct the backup for security reasons to another disk or external drive or NAS or usb-stick.
This would belong to the options menu or could be located under File/backup.
Kind regards
Yogi

Re: Setting the path for backup [Backup]
Hi Yogi
You can set the backup path with the "backup.folder" parameter in the cintanotes.settings file in the directory where you have CN running. For example, I have the following:
backup.folder = c:\CintaNotes-backup

Re: Setting the path for backup [Backup]
Thanks Gunar,
I use version 2.5.2 which does not have the file in the directory where CN is running. It seems to be located in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\CintaNotes under Windows 8.1
but changing the value to backup.folder = G:\!CintaNote\!backupAktuell do not work.
I did stop and restart CN.
Windows accepts the change but afterwards cintanotes.settings seem to be overwriten by the original file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again
Yogi

Re: Setting the path for backup [Backup]
Hi Yogi,
yes, when CN is in Program Files, it places all user data into %APPDATA%/CintaNotes, because Program Files is read-only.
Please note that you need to exit CN _before_ you edit the settings file, otherwise your changes will be overwritten by CN when it is shutting down.
So the sequence is as follows:
1) Exit CN
2) Edit settings file
3) Run CN
Hope this helps!

Re: Setting the path for backup [Backup]

Thank you.
However, I think that the best solution for the next version of CintaNotes is to allow the user to decide where he would like to store all automatic back-ups. Something like this in the menus: "File --> Backup --> Set Backup Folder..."
