Configuration Files
CopyStorm supports saving a backup configuration to a file in two formats:
- Plain-text XML.
- Encrypted text (256-bit DES encryption).
Both formats support the optional saving of Salesforce and database credentials. A CopyStorm backup configuration can be completely restored by going to File/Open in the application menu. To save a configuration, go to File/Save in the application menu:
The plain-text XML version of the file is fairly complex and not intended to be edited by hand, but it is possible. However, Capstorm may not provide support for problems arising from a hand-edited configuration file.
