Bug: Can't Back Up NT7 w/ Lots Of Data - "Too many entries for Zip file".

[ChiTrader2000]

Hello,

I imported lots of 1 minute bar data for lots of contracts and then tried to make a backup of NinjaTrader.

A few minutes into the backup, an error message popped up with the message:

"Unable to create NinjaTrader backup: Too many entries for Zip file"

I tried backing up NinjaTrader both with all the checkboxes on the "Backup NinjaTrader" dialog box checked, as well as with less checkboxes checked, as can be seen in the attached screenshot.

How can I back up NinjaTrader with lots of contracts and with lots of 1 minute bar data?

Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately this is a limitation of the zip software. You could uncheck the historical data options and backup the directory <my documents>/NinjaTrader7/db manually.
