How did you do that, as it was only available to you after installation? 33 minutes ago, Virtual170 said: Don't expect everyone to read a forum post before downloading something... I don't think that it is expected to read every forum post, but keeping an eye on your data (by keeping regular backups) can actually be expected. Especially when you are about to install a new major version of a software (that is a change in the version number left of the decimal point).

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted December 7, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 7, 2018 Sorry, I forgot that the manual is available for download there. The installer only gives you the manual after the installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus82 21 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 @Tom A320 It is easy to implement backups automaticly during PFPX-installer phase, why is that service missing for us? Because that is something that actually can be expected. Please do not lay the blame solely on the users. (I actually remembered to copy all my collected aircraft data, but despite that I am disappointed in PFPX-behaviour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that I agree regarding it being expected, and we don't see a lot of this in our community. Still, it's a good idea. 2 minutes ago, Nexus82 said: Please do not lay the blame solely on the users. I've known Tom personally and professionally for many years, and I don't think he intended this. His point is valid, that over the years we have all gotten used to backing up data before updates and new versions. Since this thread has run it's course, I'll be closing it. Thank you everyone for your opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
