Export Backup

Use this command to export the selected files including their directory structure to either a zip-file or a directory.

To export all files below a directory of your project, select the directory and invoke this command. To export only some files (e.g. only modified files), select the root directory to use and the files you want to backup and invoke this command.

To store the files/directories into a zip-file, select Into Zip-File and enter or choose a valid file name.

To store the files/directories into another directory, select Into Directory and enter or choose a directory. Check Wipe Directory Before Copying if you want to ensure to get a clean copy of the exported files without any old file hanging around there. This option is especially useful, if you always backup into the same directory.

Note

This command does not store the local CVS directories, because it is meant to be a better replacement for CVS' export command.
