====Advanced backup filename setting====
You can also define the pattern for the backup filename by setting the ''<code>paths.quick-backup-filename</code>'' in the <code>~/.gramps/gramps51/gramps.ini</code> key file like the following:
{{-}}
[paths]
quick-backup-filename='%(filename)s_%(year)d-%(month)02d-%(day)02d.%(extension)s'
You can use any of the following keywords in the pattern:
*filename
*year
*month
*day
*hour
*minutes
*seconds
*extension :
**'''.gpkg'''(default) if you include media.
**''.gramps'' if you exclude media.
Use the appropriate ~/.gramps/gramps{XX}/gramps.ini key file.
*Gramps version 5.1 :
~/.gramps/gramps51/gramps.ini
*You can use the Archive feature (see next section) to store snapshots of your Family Tree. These snapshots can be used as simple backups, very useful if you want to try something that you might later want to undo. However this method should not be used for standard backups, as it will not survive a hard disk crash or most of the other disasters that can befall a computer.
*''For advanced users:'' each database is stored in its own subdirectory under ~/.gramps. A manual backup can be made by backing up this directory, not that it is recommended to use a Gramps XML backup instead.
