Store my filters and spam settings on a cloud server?

[jessekemp]

Hello,
I use MailWasher Pro 7 to perform scrubbing on one machine at home, but I'd like to continue the process on another machine while traveling.
How can I store all my filters, spam settings, and other configurations on a cloud server or at least on a network drive that I can access via VPN?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you could try this but not exactly sure how MW would take it..... imo, the best option is to export your settings (as below) before you set sail, then import them to your other machine and repeat when you get home....

If you wanted however to try to move your settings to the other drive for access by both, here's how.....

Yes, there are 2 options for the 7.xx version:

1:
First go File >> Export >> give the file a name and save location and Export all data (including learning). Note too this process can take quite a while if there is a lot of data, so be patient

The uninstall MW and answer No to keep user files and reinstall.

During the reinstall process select the "Custom (Advanced)" option during the installer prompts and select your new user files folder on the different drive/location, try somewhere directly under your main drive for example, D://MW

Then, when MW starts, cancel the setup wizards and import the file you saved via File>>Import.


2:
The second is you create a file called CustomDateFilesPath.dat >> open this file in Notepad or similar and put in the path you want to use >> Save. Put this file in the same folder that opens when you go Help >> Common Files >> start MailWasher and ignore all the wizards that popup >> then go Help >> User Files >> this is the new data file location (note MailWasher will append a Userx to the end of the path) >> then you can just copy all the files from the old folder to this new one just opened.

Personally I'd go 1, as the Export is creating a nice little backup file, However I've attached an example CustomDateFilesPath.dat as well...

Here's how to backup/export your MWPro settings:

Open MWPro, click File>>Export,
Click Browse to choose where to save the backup file,
Type a name for it (anything you like)
Click Save,
Then Export.
To restore in future, (IF required) click File>>Import, locate the file you saved and click Import.
