Using Dropbox For Backup And Restore




NOTE: Backing up over the internet may take a while depending on how much data you are backing up.


If you have a Dropbox account (http://www.dropbox.com) you can use your Dropbox folder to backup and restore your complete writing database to and from it.

NOTE: Using Dropbox requires some setup. You MUST create a new folder in your Dropbox folder called: Auteureist™ at the top level. All of your backups and exports will be placed here. The ™ symbol is Option-2 on the Apple keyboard and needs to be there.
