The Gramps Package backup only contains your family tree and (when the 'include media' backup option is selected) your media.
The following settings in Gramps are not transferred:
- Any changes you have manually made to
gramp.ini - Any custom settings for reports (
report_options.xml) you have made. - Any custom Books (
books.xml) you have created. - Any custom holiday sets or country calendars (
holidays.xml) you have created. - Any custom Place Formats (
place_formats.xml) you have created. - Any changes you have made to the dictionary for spell checking e.g.: new or excluded words.
- Gramps exports objects in the Tree. So any added Tags or custom types that have not been applied to at least one record, the Tag or Type will have no place to be included in the backup.
- Any custom filters (
custom_filters.xml) you have created.
|
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. |
You can keep your custom settings by manually copying each of the *.xml files from the Gramps User Directory to the corresponding directory in the new gramps_version_number directory. Be aware that (due to changes in different versions of Gramps) the settings may no longer work. So be diligent that you test.
Description
This is a Transclusion template. It 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 on many pages thoughout the wiki, 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:
{{Template: Backup Omissions}}
