Saving Your Map

Each time you make the map editable, a backup of the map is created automatically. You can revert to the backup version by selecting Revert from the Edit menu.

When you make a change to a map, the change is automatically saved immediately, every minute or so.

Backing Up Your Map

If for some reason you want to make changes to your map, but you want to be able to get back to your original version, you can make a backup of your map.

When you make a backup file, it stores references to your original chart data. If you restore a previous version, your chart data remains available.

To make a backup:

  1. From the File menu, select Backup. The Backup Map window is displayed, showing a list of previous backups of the current map.
  2. In the Backup Name text box, type the name you want to use for the backup file.
  3. Click OK. A backup of the current map is created.

NOTE: Backups are stored in the Intermapper Settings/Maps (Backups) folder.

Restoring Previous Versions of Your Map

Use the Restore command in the File menu to restore a previous version of a map.

To restore a previous version:

  1. From the File Menu, select Restore. The Restore from Backup window is displayed, showing a list of previous backups of the map.
  2. Click the backup you want to use to restore the map.
  3. Click Restore. The map is restored to the backup version.

Backup Types

Intermapper creates the following backup types:

  • Manual - the backup was created using the Backup command.
  • Automatic - the backup was created automatically by a change in a Layer 2-enabled map.
  • Scheduled - the backup was created automatically, based on a schedule defined in the Map Backup panel of the Server Settings window.
