NT7 Back up

[Acqua]

Hello,

Running WinXP, NT6.5 and NT7 in the same machine.

After installing both versions i noticed there is only one "Ninja Trader backup" folder.

I want to back up NT7.

I tried to change the path using the NT7 back up utility by manually adding a 7 to the folder name in the path (trying to create a "Ninja trader 7 backup" folder) and it gave me the following error
"unable to create Ninja Trader backup archive file: could not find a part of the path : c:\docs and settings\xxx\mydocs\ninja trader 7 backup\2010-04-09.ntbk"

I went and manually created the "Ninja trader 7 backup" folder using the windows explorer and run the NT7 back up utility again.

Got the exact same error mentioned above.

In both cases i can change the path in the corresponding field in the Back up utility window, however when trying to run it, it does not accept the new path and gives the error mentioned above.

I browsed around everywhere in the NT7 menus looking for places to create/modify back up parameters and did not find anything.

Did i miss something?

If both NT6.5 and NT7 are supposed to coexist in the same machine, something as simple as having the possibility of separate back up folders shouldn't be supported?

Thanks

Hello Acqua,

Thank you for your post.

This is expected since you have renamed the Backup folder to NinjaTrader 7 Backup and it continues to look for NinjaTrader Backup.

In order to save the file in another location please go to File-->Ultilities-->Backup-->Click on the ... button-->Select where you would like the file saved on your PC-->Name your backup File-->Click Open-->Click Run Backup.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Christopher,

That did the trick. Thanks.

I tried to run a second back up and the "Ninja Trader backup" (notice no 7 in the name) is still the default back up folder. Is there a way to set the "Ninja trader 7 backup" folder as default path for future back up jobs?

Thanks

AQ

Unfortunately this is not settable.
