Backup Custom Facts
|
Edward Sneithe
I have a question about custom facts and where they are stored. I am reworking my backup procedures and want to make sure everything is backed up. So far I have found the following locations for fact sets:
/ProgramFiles(X86)/FamilyHistorian/FactTypes Standard Extended Set Standardv1 Standardv2 Standardv3 Standardv4 Standardvr
Only by project so far Custom
Documents/familyHisorianProjects/FactSets DNA GedMatch Military2
My question is the location of the custom fact set when set for not project specific?

There is plenty of information and advice about such things in the FHUG Knowledge Base. The simplest way to backup/restore everything is the Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings plugin. See: https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-article/backup-and-recovery/ https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-article/understanding-the-scope-of-features/ https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-article/family-historian-program-data-folder/

Mike, Thank you. The answer was in the second document. Now that I have found it I'm still not sure if any FH backup will copy this file. It will copy the fact that is in a project folder but I see no reference to to it backing up the Programdata/Calico Pie/Family Hostorian/fact Types where my custom fact resides. Should I plan on copying that file as well?

Actually, I supplied the answer and it is reiterated in the first document: The simplest way to backup/restore everything is the Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings plugin. See the https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-article/backup-and-recovery/ Backup and Recovery advice. That explains what is included in FH Project Backups and what is NOT included. It says either use the File > Import/Export commands or the plugin I mentioned above. I suspect you have customized much more than just Fact Types, so the plugin is the answer to preserving them all.
