Note: A description of snapshots is in Backing Up Your Online Store.
There are two different ways to create a snapshot:
· Click the 'Site Snapshot' button on the 'Shutting Down' window (that usually appears when you exit the software).
· Go to 'File | Snapshot | Export Site'.
This starts the 'Backing-up a site' wizard. The process of creating a snapshot is as follows:
1. In the first screen of the wizard, read the information and click 'Next'.
2. In the second screen of the wizard, read the information and click 'Next'.
3. In the third screen of the wizard, click 'Browse' to select a folder on your PC (or network) to create the snapshot in. The default is the 'SiteBackups' folder within the 'Actinic v8' folder. Enter a filename for the snapshot in the 'File name' field and click 'Save'. Then click 'Next'.
4. On the fourth screen of the wizard, click 'Next' to start the snapshot creation.
When the snapshot is created (or stops for any reason) you will receive a summary report. If there are any warnings or errors, click the 'Detail' button to see the details.
Note: If you receive an error that says something like "Library error - Can not open file [path name]\ActinicCatalog.mdb ! has been caught." then try closing Actinic. Then re-open it and try the snapshot again.
Click 'Finish' to close the wizard.
