Backup/Close Catalogue

[ljl]

Hi,

Someone please tell me how can i close the ACTINIC catalogue? when i clicked the Close icon, it prompt me with some options, "backup database", "snapshot", "close without bkup". As for now,i would want to close the program safely and do some daily backing up but then, everytime i try to backup with database or snapshot- my entire program would hang (not repsonding). I'm really worried that anytime i dont save the program safely,my entire site would be in trouble.Can someone kind, please provide me with some solutions. Thank you very much.

The best way to back up is to use an backup facility (eg backup to tape using the backup system that is provided with the operating system on your PC) that is not part of Actinic to perform daily and weekly backups of your computer (because the Actinic backups overwrites the last one unless you go in and change the filename). If you then run a snapshot every now and again that will be backed up for you.

You can modify the Actinic backup settings in housekeeping / backup / shutdown backup options.

What backup option have you chosen from Actinic?

What happens when you close Actinic?

Its always Hangs. <Not responding> anymore. therefore, the catalogue program would close by itself. Sigh... how can i solve it?

Does Actinic hang when you click 'Exit without Backup'? If it does, then it may be a problem with the whole Actinic installation not being happy on your operating system. If it doesn't then it gives us more options.

Go to 'Housekeeping | Backup | Sutdown Backup Options'. What path is in the 'Backups Folder' field? Is it a valid path on your PC? Try clicking 'Browse' and selecting another location.

You say Actinic also hangs when you click 'Snapshot'. Does it also hang when you go to 'File | Snapshot | Export Site'?

There are no problems when i try to "close wtihout backUp" but when i try to "backup database/snapshot or even the "file/snapshot/export"..all methods can't work. It just went "not responding".

I have never heard of people having problems with this before.

Go to 'Housekeeping | Backup | Sutdown Backup Options'. What path is in the 'Backups Folder' field? Is it a valid path on your PC? Try clicking 'Browse' and selecting another location.

Still awaiting an answer for this.
