ApexDC++ Settings Backup

If you want to prevent data loss when trying to upgrade, this is the guide for you. Simply follow the intructions below and you'll be able to backup your ApexDC++ settings and then upgrade without hesitation.

These scripts below will take live backups of your ApexDC++ settings folder, so you have the most up to date backup when upgrading. The restore script should only be launched once you have successfully upgraded to the latest version, so it can import the old settings.

Note: Windows Vista users might need to run this script with elevation for the restoration to work, otherwise you can take ownership of the ApexDC++ folder (if you know how to).


If you spot any problems please report them, and I'll be happy to update the script.

The script is open source, written in C# it is released under the MIT License and you are welcome to take the source and make the program better, and if you want the new feature or fix added to the official program just send me a message, and i will think about it

� Hey guys, i'm operating a University DC network, and to be honest, a lot of our users are not the brightest... I was wondering if there's a way to modify the installation file or include a simple settings file, so the user can install Apex, and then copy over the settings, and already have all the hub settings defined (mostly address and min slots, but other things too)�

Of course! I am operating our university DC hub too and have made a pre-configured installation of ApexDC++. You can download it by clicking this link. You can preconfigure the setting in the DCPlusPlus.xml file and favorite hubs in Favorites.xml. You can also include a xml file of your language (Slovak in my case). So everything works out-of-the-box, the users don't have to set up anything except their nicks and share.
