backing up

Post by Mark Hesketh »

I want to make a backup of everything vital on the computer in the thermwood controller... but I don't know which files to grab. Is there a list that I can access of every file I would need to replace in the event of a crash? Or better yet, is there a backup utility that will automatically pick them out for me?

Call me pessimistic, but I think I am about due for a crash soon... been a while 8)

Mark,

The files you would want to back up would be the following:

Toolman.thm, located in the \"C:\\system\" directory.
Thm.ini, located in the \"C:\\system\" directory.
thm.off, located in the \"C:\\offset.tab\" directory.
Macm999.thm, located in the \"C:\\macros\" directory.
tools.thm, located in the \"C:\\rolling nest\" directory.
machine.ini, located in the \"C:\\rolling nest\" directory.

These are the main files you will want to back up. Just remember that any changes made to any of these files after they are backed up will not be present in the backups.
