PlayIt Live includes a built-in backup and restore feature that can backup your database and settings either on demand or on a regular schedule.

To access the backup feature, go to Tools > Backup and Restore. From this window, you can set your backup location by clicking the link to change where future backups are stored. You can also specify how many backups to keep using the "Keep up to X backups" setting.

For immediate backup, click the Back Up Now button to backup the database and settings straight away. The current backup status will be displayed whilst a backup is in progress, and you can view a list of recent backups in the current backups folder.

For automated backups, you can schedule PlayIt Live to regularly backup the database and settings every specified number of days. This scheduled backup will happen automatically in the background when PlayIt Live is running, ensuring your data is protected without manual intervention.

If you need to restore from a backup, you can either select a backup from the recent backups list and click Restore Selected, or use Restore From File to restore from a specific backup file. When you mark a backup to restore, PlayIt Live will need to restart to complete the restoration process. You'll be prompted to type "YES" to confirm the restore, and any existing data will be overwritten.
