BackupHistoryRoot

BackupHistoryRoot = …

By default, the backup copies are stored in the same folder as the decision table. This key can be used to specify a special "root directory under which the backup copies, including the respective folder structure, are stored.

Entry in an LFET.Project.ini-file:
BackupHistoryRoot = …
Entry in an LFET.Project.yaml-file:
LFET:

  BackupHistory:
    Root: …

  • As value the complete path to a "root directory" must be specified, under which the backup copies, including the respective folder structure, are to be stored

  • This key overrides a possibly existing Backup.History.Folder-specification, i.e. a simultaneously existing BackupHistoryFolder specification is ignored

  • The path specified here must already exist and must be a "side branch" to the decision table path:

    1. The path must match at least the drive and optionally some folders

    2. It must be different in at least one directory "above" the decision table folder

  • From the decision table path the matching part is removed, the rest "under" is added to the specified "root directory", so that also for the backup files the system-wide uniqueness is ensured by the full absolute path and the file name of the decision table

  • In case of any problems, the user receives a detailed error message and the folder specification is ignored, i.e. the backup files are stored in the decision table folder
