Hi Teus, I am learning to use 'Incremental (Backup)' in BE. I like the elegant way with the backup.html file displayed in the default html browser with - the filename giving the information of backup-kind/dates-times/project and - the link to view all available backups. Great. What I have problems with is to find out: 'How to restore incremental backups to a master file?' Features: The feature 'Incremental' is described in BE/Help/Backup dialog: To automatically backup the changes since the last backup, no worries and no bother, you can use File / Project / Backup / Incremental. Checking out the results of those backups I found: - Only the chapter which have changed since the last of any of the three backups are saved - They are saved in arbitrary order. Situation: Working in project A on 1JN: - day 0: full backup: creates 0.zip - day 1: changes on chapter 2, 4. Incremental creates a 0-1.zip containing the 1John.usfm (only chapters 0,4,2, or 0,2,4 ) - day 2: changes on chapter 1,3,5. Incremental creates a 1-2.zip containing the 1John.usfm (only chapters 0,1,3,5 or ...) - day 3: changes on chapter 0,2, 5. Incremental creates a 2-3.zip containing the 1John.usfm (only chapters 0,2,5 or ...) Question: What is the practical way to 'recreate' of all the incremental backups the original 1JN file again? I did not find any restore tool (like it exists in Paratext and Translation Editor) Do I have to: - open all the zip files of the projet A, checking if they contain any 1John.usfm file? - then open all those 1John.usfm files and make a search for chapter numbers to see, which they contain? In the situation above, I would have to open 1.zip, 2.zip, 3.zip to find out that chapter 4 has have changes, and copy the chapter 4 into my 1John.usfm master file |
