SMART - Automatic Backups

Built into SMART is an automated backup provision. SMART monitors the number of times the application has been opened and after each 10th use will offer the user the option of creating a backup of the data file. It is important to remember that SMART can only monitor the number of times the program has been used if the exit SMART button on SMART's ribbons is used to close the application and not the close program X next to the minimise and restore icons.

SMART Preferred Exit Method SMART Non Preferred Exit Method

On exiting SMART for the 10th time the following option box will appear;

On selecting yes SMART will attempt to create a backup of your data file and if successful will present the user with a verification message.

It is very important to remember that SMART's backup facility is no replacement for proper archiving and users should ensure that they have appropriate procedures in place to backup their important data. Please also note that SMART's uninstall routine will remove both the graphical user interface and data file. However, the uninstall routine will not remove any backups created by SMART which will need to be removed manually. It will also fail to remove SMART's files if they have been moved from their original installation directory.

To ensure your hard drive is not clogged up with endless backups of SMART's data file, SMART will only keep three backup copies, the newest copy overwriting the oldest copy of the three backups.
