Posted December 1, 2009 Every time there is a power cut or the PC freezes and needs a hard reset while ApexDC is running the favorites.xml file gets corrupted. Is there a way to make Apex backup this as well as other critical files at every startup / shutdown or whatever, A "restore" command may also be good.

Posted December 1, 2009 Well, I am using Apex for quite some years but this hasn't happened to me (yet)... But maybe the Favorites.xml could be backed up like Queue.xml ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 1, 2009 Well, I am using Apex for quite some years but this hasn't happened to me (yet)... But maybe the Favorites.xml could be backed up like Queue.xml ? then you're lucky. it happened to me 2 times last month and it's hard to get adresses of private hubs again. and I am to lazy to backup favorites.xml EVERY TIME I run apex. And I don't think this should be neccesary on a client that advertises itself as "The Pinnacle of file sharing" (allthough it is hated by most private hubs, I like the look and feel as well as functionality of ApexDC) A simple "favorites.bak" in the "settings" folder on run/exit would do the trick.

Posted December 2, 2009 Why would you need to make a backup of Favorites.xml every time? You just need to do it once in a while, when you change something in your favorite hubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2009 cause it gets corrupted on every power failure or hard reset on my pc. and I don't know when the next time is that this is going to happen, but when it does the file gets messed up and I lose all my fav hubs and users. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) memcheck cause a pc shouldnt freeze up unless there is something wrong with it. although a simple backup tool included isnt a bad idea Edited December 3, 2009 by Toast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2010 Its very useful feature. I have many time this situation, because like to overclock my PC And many times my friends have this problem too. Before apex i used StrongDC, and its make Favorites.xml.bak file and backup is very simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I many times backup Favorites from automatically created .bak file in StrongDC, and not only on my PC. Maybe Big Muscle can explain this moment :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Big Muscle can explain this moment I looked at tthe source code, so I am pretty sure I am correct about this. It does create such backup from queue bit not favorites.
