Backups

Backups are created as the application starts for the first time each day. The program will launch the backup.bat file, which has a list of folders and files to backup. These are all compressed into a zip file and date time stamped. They are archived in the Backups folder. By default, backups older than 30 days are deleted. The number of days can be changed in the Trading Blox INI file under Backup Archive Days.

Here is the list of folders and files that are backed up by default. The files and folders to backup can be changed by modifying this file using notepad.
