Invision

Recentlly, my records got reset for some reason, and I lost my top 5, bytes sent, record cps, stuff like that.

I was wondering if there's a way to back up the files that hold that information, so that if my records get erased again, I can just copy files over and get my them back again.

Thanks

Yeah I wanna know where to find the file that holds that information. For some reason I lost all my settings and records and i want it back. Please if anyone can help me?

arrgh, it just happened again.

I had the entire mirc folder that included invision backed up already, hoping that I could just import the settings if my stats reset. But, that didn't work.

Any ideas?

Did you go to the Invision pull down menu and click on Invision tools? At the bottom is the import wizard. If you select that and direct it to your old mirc directory, it will import all your settings on the new one.

cryoa correct me if I'm worng:

From the main Invision directory go into the subfolder 'Invision' then the subfolder 'Settings' and back up all the files in the Server specific folders (ie. DALnet, gamersarcade).

The specific file that carries records is SettingsFserv.i2s.

So that I don't forget to do it I created a batch file to xcopy the directory and to paste it into the backup folder, I then schedule Norton AV's Scheduler (or you could use Windows Scheduler) to run the bat file once a day.

To create a batch file open up Notepad and type in something like:

xcopy C:\Invision2-2520\Invision\Settings\DALnet C:\Invision2-2520\Invision\Settings\backup-Dnet /d /r /y

and then save it as a *.bat file (ex. SettingsCopy.bat). The '/d' option backs them up if the files source time is newer than the backed up copy, '/r' overwrites Read-Only files and '/y' suppresses the prompt to overwrite a file.

To restory simply copy all the files in the backup folder into the Server specific folder

Hope this helps...
