Backup
When performing a manual update in Scriptcase or making any changes that affect the tool, it is recommended that the user save certain files through a Backup.
A Backup is necessary to avoid the loss of Projects and Settings.
There are two ways to perform a Backup:
Method 1: Through Scriptcase Settings
Method 2: By copying the file "nm_scriptcase.db" and necessary folders.
The app folder is not a valid backup of your projects.
1 - Through Scriptcase Settings
To perform a backup using Scriptcase settings, access your development environment:
1.1 – First, go to the "Settings" tab by navigating to Options > Settings:
1.2 – Then, click the "Backup" option, give it a name, and click "Process", as shown in the image below:
1.3 – After processing the file, a "Download" button will appear. Click it to download your Backup file
1.4 – Finally, after clicking the button, a .ZIP file will be generated containing the Backup files
2 - By copying the file "nm_scriptcase.db" and directories from the devel/conf folder
To perform the backup this way, you’ll need to use the system file manager or terminal:
The examples below are based on Ubuntu Linux, where the main Scriptcase folder is located at: /var/www/html/scriptcase/
2.1 - Using the File Manager
2.1.1 – Open your file manager and navigate to the directory where your main Scriptcase folder is located.
2.1.2 – Access the folder devel/conf and save a copy of the following directories:
1. usr
2. upd
3. sys
4. grp
5. icons
6. font
7. lang
2.1.3 – Now, inside the folder devel/conf/scriptcase, save a copy of the file named nm_scriptcase.db.
2.2 - Using the Terminal
2.2.1 – First, open the terminal using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T.
2.2.2 – In the terminal, run the following commands:
rsync -av /absolutePath/scriptcase/devel/conf/scriptcase/nm_scriptcase.db /destinyPath/
use example: rsync -av /var/www/html/scriptcase/devel/conf/scriptcase/nm_scriptcae.db /var/www/html/
rsync -av --exclude='scriptcase' /absolutePath/scriptcase/devel/conf/ /destinyPath/
use example: rsync -av --exclude='scriptcase' /var/www/html/scriptcase/devel/conf/ /var/www/html/
2.2.3 – After that, the nm_scriptcase.db file and necessary folders will be copied to the destination path.
