Jon Heimerl Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I played with the free version and just randomly entered some stuff I thought I had. Decided I liked the program enough to buy the pro version. I started a new db, then entered save a copy after I had entered a couple thousand comics. After that the app kept telling me "it looks like you are working in a backup, do you want to make this a working copy?" so I kept saying yes make it a dang working copy. the file name was something like "copy of a copy of the DB" THis morning my PC rebooted for a patch, and closed the db. When I reopen, I can't find my current db. Any suggestions on how I find it and keep it as a working copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven L. Dasinger Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 By default the database file is located in: C:\Users\<logo-id>\Documents\Human Computing\ComicBase Databases Save a Copy does not work the way I think you are trying to use it (which is as a backup). What Save A Copy does is make a Copy (a second) database. If you don't rename it it is Copy of Database. Saving A Copy again from that database with make a File called Copy of Copy of Databases, etc. (or naming like this). Each of these are valid databases. If you entered some issues in the first one and then Saved A copy, If you want a backup of your database, use menu item Setup->Preferences and change the backup part to what you want (see the Blue section in the Attachment.
