Backup

Project Groups: Choose this option to quickly back up all projects in the current folder. Since projects are contained within

project groups, the projects are backed up as well. However, when you restore the backed up projects, only the project groups

are listed; the projects within project groups are not listed, but are automatically restored with the corresponding project groups.

To back up or restore individual projects directly, choose the Projects option or the Project Groups and Projects option.



Projects: Choose this option to back up only the projects in the current folder. When you restore, the backed up projects are

restored to their associated project groups. If the project group does not exist in the current folder, P3 creates a dummy project

group so you can work with the project apart from the project group.

Project Groups And Projects: Choose this option to back up all projects in the current folder. When you restore the backed

up projects, both the project groups and projects are available to restore. This back up procedure may take longer than choosing

the Project Groups option, but you have the option to restore project groups or individual projects.



All Options Exclude Dummy Project Groups: A dummy project group refers to the project group data, such as project

calendars and dictionaries, that is included only with a backup of a project. P3 includes this data so you can work with the

project apart from the project group. When you restore a project to a location where the associated project group exists, P3

restores only the project to prevent you from overwriting data in the project group. A dummy project group is also created if you

restore a project into a folder where the project group does not exist.
