Web Hosting is a big expense. If you
find the YuleLog Bulletin Boards helpful, amusing or profitable, and would like
to make a donation to help support them, it would be
appreciated!
Feel free to donate as often as you
like!

Whenever you quit YuleLog, it will ask if you want to
save backup copies of your data. This is to prevent a loss of your
data, if your main files are lost or corrupted. When you answer
yes to this question, YuleLog will save special compacted copies
of your three main data bases (your list of collectors, list of
collections, and your ornaments) into three files. These files are
saved to your hard drive, into the YuleLog2 folder. The YuleLog2
folder is located in the Program Files folder on Windows 95 - XP,
and in the Documents folder on Windows Vista, or in the
Applications folder on Macintosh. To be extra safe, you can copy
these three files (they are named backup1, backup2, and backup3)
to another hard drive or to a floppy disk, or to a USB
Flash drive. These special files can only be read by the
YuleLog program's Restore from Backup Data Files command. You can
not open them by double clicking on them.
If at some point you need to recover your data from these
backup files, install YuleLog, using your newest CD, as if it were
a first time installation. When ever it asks, tell the installer
that this is new installation. You can then use the backup files
that were saved to your hard drive or copy the backup files from
the floppy disk, or a USB
Flash drive, or hard drive to the YuleLog2 folder which again
should be in the Program Files folder on Windows 95 - XP, or the
My Documents folder on Windows Vista, or Applications folder on a
Mac. Start YuleLog, again answering the question as if this were a
first time installation. Fill out the name and address form and
then at the Licensed to screen, click on the Utilities button.
Click on the Restore From Back Up Data Files button. This will
read your data into the new copy of YuleLog and then you should be
good to go.
NOTE TO VISTA USERS!
YuleLog must be installed in the Documents folder on Vista Machines instead of the normal Program Files Folder. The 2007 version has been tweaked to deal with this better, so before installing on Vista, be sure you have the 2007 version.
When you get to the screen that asks where you want to install, click on the Browse button.
Select Users.
Then Select your login directory (could be your name) It is whatever name you use to sign in to your computer.
Select Documents.
Click continue and this should install YuleLog in your Documents folder.
