GraphSupport ► Data Backstore

A data backstore is the area on your file system where Graph maintains all of its persistent information so that the next time you launch it your data and preferences are available to you. Normally you need not be concerned about the data backstore but there are a few instances where it is handy to know about the data backstore.

The default backstore is at the location:

Library/VVI/Graph

in your home folder or the application container if it is sandboxed. The reference to the backstore location is altered by using the Root Folder tool. The following lists some concepts regarding the data backstore.

Backup

If you feel compelled to backup the information you enter into a task then simply zip up the backstore location and rename the zipped file. Notice that if you backup your home folder then the data backstore is backed up along with everything else.

Manual Reacquisition

Rarely the backstore location is changed. With version 10.6.10 the backstore location changed. To reacquire your settings from a previous version please do this:

Launch the Terminal application.

cd ~/Library
mkdir VVI
cd VVI
mv ../com.vvi.GraphMac .
mv com.vvi.GraphMac Graph

Transport

To transport your task information from one computer to another zip up the data backstore, copy it to the new computer and then unzip it at the same location as on the original computer.

Manual Reset

Sometimes you may simply want to start anew. To do that simply drag the data backstore to the trash. The next time you launch Graph the backstore will be reinitialized and available for new task entries.
