Understand application backup
This help page is for users in Creator 6. If you are in the older version (Creator 5), click here. Know your Creator version. For example, imagine a Customer Management application for a publishing house. It consists of a customer contact form, customer details form, and subscription form (including associated reports). You can schedule periodic backups to run on a weekly basis. In the event of an application crash while making updates, you can just restore the previous week's backup, so that a great deal of the developments made from the time of its creation until the latest backup is restored. If there is a need to undo a few updates made to the application, it's not necessary to remove the updates manually. You can only restore the application to a previous date when the updates were not yet made. This feature eliminates the hassles of reworking.
Backup file size
- Select only the Schema box if you want to back up the application without data. The .DS file of your application will be backed up.
- Select the Schema+Data box if you want to backup data along with the application.
- Ideally, the files present in the application will not be backed up. In order to also back up the files, select the Schema+Data+Files checkbox.
- Only schema (without widgets) - 50MB
- Only schema (with widgets) - 100MB
- Schema and application data - 1GB
- Schema, application data, and files - 3GB
- For the applications that have enabled Environments, you can backup only your applications that are in the Production environment.
- For the applications that have not enabled Environments, you can backup all your applications.
