How To back up SmartFTP settings

1. Select Tools > Settings from the SmartFTP menu. The Settings window appears. From the Settings window select Backup. From the Backup tab you can select to Backup Now or set it up so that SmartFTP backups automatically at a specified time interval.
2. Alternatively, from the Windows Start Menu select > All Programs > SmartFTP client > Tools > Backup Tool. Follow the instructions on the screen to perform a successful backup of your favorites, history, etc.

The backup includes registry settings, Favorites and data files (Custom Commands.dat, Quick Folders.dat, Transfer Queue.xml).

To restore the backup, close the application and use the SmartFTP Backup Tool (BackupTool.exe). Alternatively, you can manually extract the files from the backup.zip file and import the registry settings from the .reg file.
