Hallo
Das Sichern der Datenbanken wird Automatisch nach einer gewissen Zeit gemacht . Man kann aber auch selber eine Sicherung veranlassen . Dazu in Memento ( nur die Mobile Version )  auf Einstellung / Backup gehen . Die Sicherungsdatei ist dann im Verzeichnis : Memento / backup

Hi
The backup of the databases is done automatically after a certain time. But you can also arrange a backup yourself. To do this, go to Settings / Backup in Memento (only the mobile version). The backup file is then in the directory: Memento / backup

Yes, and the backups are located in the memento folder in the backup subfolder. The numbers identify the date & time of each backup.

Thank u

I use  the DEsktop version and  frustatingly I domt  see  many options 

I tried a couple of things  on the Android  ..brillian ..I pray and  hope  it is  traslated i nthe  Desktop version

Any idea if ther is an Ipad version ?

The developer has never had significant interest in developing for the iOS platform. I'm not expert in iOS, but I gather that Java is not readily usable for an app on that platform. Java is the language Memento is based on.

Memento runs excellently on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 tablet, which is very competitive with the iPad.

thanks Bill

does the  developer then  mainly have and  Interest in the Android  Version ?  and The Desktop version is the n probably not  high  on his  agenda ?

I know that Memento started as a Java application, and though Java and JavaScript are both cross-platform products, Memento uses certain internal components some of which are not cross-platform, so it was Android only, and the mobile edition still is. Years later (some years ago), he began developing a separate version of Memento, also in Java, but with different internal components. Since the components are different, they have somewhat different features. Also, while Java runs on each platform, some Memento features require functions that are not covered by Java, like maybe (not sure) barcode fields, audio & video fields, and link to file fields.

I believe (educated guess) that the editions have similar priorities as each other for the developer, but the desktop edition is newer and still being built, but behind the mobile edition and getting new features as time and money allow him to dedicate to it. To some extent, the platforms are just different -- taps instead of clicks, different, often bigger file systems, and so on. Because of this, there are some features that make sense on Android, but not on Windows, and some things make sense on the Mac that don't on Android, and the same for Linux.

So, it's a very mixed bag, but with offerings from Memento include things that most of us don't even think of, like Private Server, and the Team cloud plan has less of a presence on the forum than the lower-end plans. I wrote the wiki and never got very involved with the desktop edition, which is why the wiki is so Android-centric. It's not that there is any preference on my part. It's just that I'm retired and a lover of soft furniture, which is more suitable for tablets than for laptops.
