#BACKUP SIMPLE NOTEPAD FILES HOW TO#
bak files being created in the same folder as their real file, and many would balk at that and say to themselves “I’ve got to figure out how to turn this off, or adjust it in some way!”. Maybe, to avoid criticisms such as “Useless Backup System”, Notepad++ could change its default “Backup on save” option to be the “Simple backup” choice. Not to mention this could be a security issue for sensitive data.īut, I take responsibility for my own actions, and understanding how the programs I use work, so I wouldn’t end up in such a situation as the OP. I’d probably be annoyed if by default Notepad++ created little turd files in locations I don’t necessarily know about on my hard drive. … Why not just create backups of whatever tab the user has been saving? I realize it does indeed say ‘Session’ in the back up, but ‘session’ is such a generally applied word that It wouldn’t have even crossed my mind even If I had looked into the back up system prior to this incident. The backups are for sessions only I guess? not opened files such as. Luckily enough, I had done a pretty good job so I would say 70-85% of the code I’d done is still there… but even %10 gone is a lot.īut no problem, there’s gotta be a backup no? backup is turned on. I go back to the program copy, copy it back to desktop to check the damage, and yeah, there was still a lot to fix because the program erased a lot of lines of code. I realized it then that I fk’d myself pretty hard. Close the program, go back to the edit file and whops… the edit file is not there. Haven’t even realized my mistake yet, open up the program to check out my work and what/if anything else needs to be fixed and indeed more needs to be fixed. Any part of the xml that has an errorenous part simply gets automatically deleted by the program which is fine because I’m just copying my editing copy into the programs directory… except… for the one time without thinking I click-dragged the edit into the program directory which was without realizing it, a MOVE not a COPY.
Today, I copy it back and overwrite the original file to test it out and it turns out, need to do some tweaks. Pulled a grueling 12 hour all nighter last night to do what I needed to do. I made a copy of the programs xml to desktop. xml code rather than inside the program itself. xml files which are easier to manipulate sometimes from within the.

I use a software that depends on writing user settings and presets to a bunch of. That being said… There’s usually an intent with backup systems to be somewhat fool proof and I am evidence that notepad++ does not meet that threshold.

Yes I made a mistake, and have been using NotePad++ as a newbie having not read the manual or checking in on how the the backup system works, nor did I ever test it.
