Template:Backup Omissions

• Any changes you have manually made to gramp.ini
• Custom settings for reports. (Stored in .gramps/report_options.xml )
• Any custom holidays.xml you have created.
• Custom filters you have created. (Stored in custom_filters.xml )

Custom Filter migration Keep your collection of custom filters through a minor updates to patch Gramps (e.g., from version 6.0.1 to 6.0.2) by manually copying your custom_filter.xml from Gramps User Directory to the corresponding directory in new gramps_version_number. Even minor upgrades with feature changes (e.g., from a 6.0.x to a 6.1.x version) may include XML format changes since the recent innovation of addon rules are causing rapid evolution in Filters. So porting filters in this manner requires verification that the XML definitions haven't changed. Also, Addon rules may have to be installed in the new upgrade before copied custom filters will work safely.

Description

Transclusion template. Inserts a Work-In-Progress chunk of text about information not included in Backups that are important when migrating data.

(Since the content was replicated several times, it makes sense to have a master copy that only needs to be edited once. Once the data is finalized, the Template can be permanently substituted via subclusion. Alternatively, a separate page may created and links could replace this transclusion.)

Usage

insert the following line on the page:
