Question concerning the database

Post by abr01 »

Is it enough to export the settings to secure the database including an extended index, like in geo coordinates? The exported file looks quite small. Or is there another, larger file to be included? Because building that index took very long.

Your Everything database is stored in:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything




To backup your Everything.db:
Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
Make a copy of %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything\Everything.db



To restore your Everything.db:
Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
Restore %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything\Everything.db from your backup.
Restart Everything.
Everything may rebuild if too many changes have occurred since the backup was made.

-or-

Open the backup Everything.db in Everything from File -> Open File List...
This will open the Everything.db file in read-only mode.
