| Posted: | | | | I have created a Custom Backup plugin that allows a specified directory to be backed up when you do a backup. I created this as I have a custom soundtrack directory containing playlists and album covers that I get backed up whenever I do a backup, to a zip file.
After install you will see a new menu item 'specise_8472/backup'. Click on this and you will be presented with a dialog to enter a folder path to backup. (no trailing slash!) Now when you do a backup this directory will be backed up to a zip file with the same name as the backup file.zip. and in the same place as the backup. If you do not enter a path you will get a message that no custom path provided. If provided you will get a success message. This runs automatically after the main backup has finished.
The filepath is stored in a Backup.ini file that is created in the same directory as the plugin.
If you are doing a lot of 'partial' backups and this is annoying, then just open backup again and save with no path specified. This will put a blank entry in the ini file. At any time you can change the path by entering a new path which will overwrite the existing path.
File can be found at https://1drv.ms/f/s!AszUwF4_399MmjUaCSUi87shgGZ- There is an installer .exe which registers it after install and the raw .dll for users who prefer more control.
To do, Multiple directory's if a need for this. Restore back on system restore

| Posted: | | | | There is also a tool that can backup the DVD Profiler collection to an SQLite database: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13LcdY-ZOTSFARn6z8LCqAaukrrDgInlr/
Note that it needs the SQLite library which seems not to be included, but can be downloaded here: https://sqlite.org/download.html (one needs the 32-bit DLL) | | | Last edited: by tommy0910 |

| Posted: | | | | Thanks, but this is to allow backup of other dirs when doing an internal backup. Not for backing up the main DB as it does a good job on its own.
Used by me for backing up a music dir that has HTML and pics in. |

| Posted: | | | | I believe that just about anything you put into certain folders is backed up automatically along with the database:
- ScenePhotos - CreditPhotos - Filters - Labels - Flags
I am not sure what if any restrictions exist for filetypes and size. If anyone knows, please share info. But I think you could just add a folder(s) for your HTML and pics. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!!
