Why do I have to make backups of the SM 'profile' - couldn't the
profile
just be in Dropbox?
If you do an action that destroy your profile, It will be
destroyed in
your dropbox.
It's not so difficult to copy, when SM in not running, your current
profile:
C:\Users\<myuser>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ey8r9gln.default
Into per exemple this directory:
C:\MYBACKUP\SM\PROFILE\2.46\2017-july-17\
My five profiles are NOT anywhere on my C-drive. I believe I am
not the
only SeaMonkey user who has put profiles elsewhere.
To find your profiles, enter about:profiles in SeaMonkey's address
area
(URI area).
Dropbox has a directory "Apps" where some applications store their
data, each in its own folder. In case of damage DB backs-up all
versions for a month (free).
So, David, how does one 'move' a profile to another c-drive?
Will the dropbox backup occurs when SM is not running ?
When a file is not 'in use' Dropbox indexes it (creates a CRC) then
uploads it (using the CRC to make sure it matches - actually the CRC
is on each piece of 5MB or so). The backup store is done when the
file is replaced.
I hate those automatic actions ... never sure that the backup occur at a
right time.
