Backup User Settings

Important Note!

If the Auto Save User Settings check box is selected on the Features tab of the Setup form DDUtil will automatically save a copy of the user settings file every time it has a normal close. Further action is not required under normal conditions. However, if you wish to force save of the user settings file use the following procedure.

Follow these steps to save your user settings to a unique file name:

  • Open the Options menu.
  • Select Backup User Settings.
  • Give the file a unique name you can recognize.
  • Press Save.

Caution:

  • Make sure you save a good file and not a corrupt one. If you're having problems now is not the time to save a backup.

Restore User Settings

  • If DDUtil starts normally.
    • Open the Option menu.
    • Select the Restore User Settings item.
    • Select the file name you wish to restore.
    • Press the Open button.
    • DDUtil will restart with your restored settings installed.
  • If DDUtil won't start normally.
    • Open the DDUtil install folder (usually C:\DDUtil).
    • Execute (double-click) the DeleteUserConfig.bat file.
    • Start DDUtil (will have default settings).
    • Open the "Option" menu.
    • Select the Restore User Settings item.
    • Select the file name you wish to restore.
    • Press the Open button.
    • DDUtil will restart with your restored settings installed.
