Template:Backup Omissions

The Gramps Package backups only contains your family tree and if selected your media.

The following settings in Gramps are not transferred

• Custom settings for reports.
• Custom filters you have created.
• Any changes you have manually made to gramp.ini

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. Even minor upgrades with feature changes (e.g., from a 6.0.x to a 6.1.x version) may include XML format changes since the recent innovation of addon rules are causing rapid evolution in Filters. So porting filters in this manner requires verification that the XML definitions haven't changed. Also, Addon rules may have to be installed in the new upgrade before copied custom filters will work safely.
