Backups


 

in previous versions of jmri i got hundreds of backups of panels automatically without me doing a backup.
?
using jmri 5.10 i open a profile which opens a layout panel. The panel had a table of switches in which i mistakenly erased the switches and saved the tables.
?
i want to remove the latest panel and restore the panel with the switches table in it.
?
i cannot find where the backup was stored.?
?
How do i find the panel with the table that existed before the erasure?
?
I checked very directory and suspect this version of jmri does not automatically back up.

Tony,

When you "store" with the same name, the previous file is moved to the "backupPanels" directory with the current date and time added to the file name.

There are no recent backups in the only directory ¡®backupPanels¡¯
Is there some setting i need to set to cause the backups.
The original version of the saved file is not in the folder.

I just dis another save of the file and it is also not in the folder

Tony,

After you do the store, go to "Help -> System Console", click on the "Copy to clipboard" button and paste in a reply.
