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.
If you are not a Dropbox user already then I may have given the wrong
impression. (I wish they had better documentation.) All your files are
on your computer AND in the Dropbox cloud. When you delete or change a
file on your computer it is changed in the cloud, plus the old file is
kept as a "backup" that can be retrieved at will (within 30 days).
An app example is Rootsmagic: install the s/w and the data is
automatically put on dropbox. https://www.rootsmagic.com/App/FAQ/
So If I could tell SeaMonkey to use c://...dropbox/qqxxyyy for my
profile then my profile would be in the cloud all the time after SM has
been closed for the day.
