The internal is the default backup. TBManager also backup Windows register keys and some settings from program directory. Now the TBManager site is stolen from porn spammer but you can find info and download here http://thebat.zetema.de/tools.html#tbmanager M.

Discussion on how to upgrade successfully to the new version (was: Re: 4.0.34.11)
Hello all, some experiences regarding upgrade to .11: 1) As Marek wrote on Friday evening, creating a backup on .7, exchanging thebat.exe to .11 and restoring the previously created backup did not work. I checked that and I can confirm, that performing these operations only results in empty message bases, i.e. The Bat shows the folders but they don't contain any messages. 2) I also tried exchanging thebat.exe as I usually do and restarting The Bat afterwards. All the folders were still present, and every message was still there. A new message index in MESSAGES.TBN was created on startup. When this file was deleted, it was recreated on startup again. When MESSAGES.TBI was deleted it had no effect. So apparently, simply exchanging thebat.exe is the best way to upgrade to the new version. Marek, is there a way you especially suggest? Those who upgraded successfully, how did you do it? Those who couldn't upgrade, what did you try?

My experience: Everytime I get a new beta here, I perform two backups: with internal tool and with TBManager http://www.freeware-archiv.de/TBManager-eMail.htm Then I replace the .exe file. -- Mackley Current beta is 4.0.34.11 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
