Backing Up Your Inventory

Collectify Home Inventory stores all the information about each inventory in various data files on your computer's hard disk. If these data files are lost, all the information about the inventory will be lost as well. No computer is completely reliable, and there is always a small chance that your computer's hard disk may crash or some other mishap may occur. For this reason is it a very good idea to back up your inventory data files on a regular basis.

By default, CHI prompts you to back up your inventory every two weeks. You may change the frequency of CHI backups in the Options dialog. For more information see Backing up your data .

Please note that if the backup file is on the same hard disk as your inventory data files, and your hard disk or computer are lost, then you will lose both your inventory data files and the backup file. It is thus very important to regularly back up your CHI backup files, along with all other important files on your hard disk, to another location such as a CD, DVD, flash drive, or remote Internet location.
