ATM Backup

[monpere]

How do I backup ATM's ? I saw a message dated from 2004 asking about it, and the answer was 'feature not available at this time' Is this still the case? I would like to backup versions of my ATM's as I work on them, and not have to restore an entire database, when I need a copy of 1 ATM.

NT6.5 comes with a backup concept. File->Utitlities->Backup. No need to manually copy e.g. DB any longer.

Thanks. How do I restore a copy of 1 ATM? Do I need to create a whole separate instance of NT, restore there, in order to visually get the values of the ATM? Are there any XML files with that info, like workspaces, chart templates, etc?

You only can backup/restore the whole DB which holds all ATMs.

Is it feasible to store them in XML format like most of the other user definable items like chart templates, workspaces? Right now I think my only real option to restore an ATM is to write down all the info in a notebook, or take a screen capture of the open dialog boxes. Dude, do you think there is any merit to storing them in an XML? I takes many hours and much testing to tweak these ATM's

Thanks for your suggestion. We'll add it to the list of future considerations.
