Backup Data Files

The DNE should be backed up as often as you would save any working document on your computer. Backing up the DNE creates a backup of the current state of the database, including all DNE-specific information. This includes all maps and NEs, all tiles (except for the actual files to which the tiles are linked), and all fields for everything. All configurations are also saved, as well as the objects on the bench in every room.

Data can be backed up from the Fusebox in the DNE, but it can also be backed up in Utilities, without opening the DNE.

Note that backups do not replace each other. If you create a backup every day for a week, you will have five backups. Therefore you may want to delete old backups or remove them to storage. Backups are stored in the folder ...\DEKSTRUS\DNE\Backup.

The DNE must be closed in order for you to back it up. Ensure that the DNE is closed before you attempt to back up.

Back up your DNE often!
