This could be handled Better with Import/Export than Backup library and solving 0002439 could serve as workaround/safer solution for backup due the fact that on runtime MM can update library in middle of process. |

Peke, I'm not sure i understand what you mean, or how it relates to a portable version of MM. i.e. if user wanted to backup the MM db, they would expect to do so via either: File > Backup Library OR File > Maintain Library > Backup Library If the user wanted to automate this, we would probably add a config option to: Tools > Library > [ ] Automatically backup database on close. |

The purpose Of portable MM should be that users have ability Move all Current MM settings and store it on Portable Drive for usage on another PC without going thru all install/setting procedures that normally needs to be done if you want same settings on two different PC or on same PC after format and reinstall of system (from time when external storage didn't existed or at least they were expensive and in most cases either too slow or read only I would call that backup) [] Automatically backup database on close would do the trick even for all those users that do not need Portable version. Re 0002439: The Application I suggest would do the work outside MM On Both MM Start/Close and handle all changes that MM have done while started or even better it can be added to MM core to be executed prior to loading main MM windows and engine. Note: App has been done as standalone/separate Delphi unit to make implementation easier and in current state can backup/restore both MM library, Registry, INI into dedicated folder prior to MM start (it acts like MM Launcher). |

OK, you're talking about technical implementation and not user experience. I'll leave it to Jiri to comment on the approach. Setting to 'high'. |
