Saving Sessions

A session is the period during which a user is connected to a repository. A session begins when the user authenticates and ends when he/she exits HOPEX. Sessions and private workspaces can overlap. When you dispatch, refresh or discard a private workspace, a new private workspace is created in the same session. Conversely, a user can keep his/her private workspace when exiting a session.

To save modifications you have made in your session since the last save:

In the HOPEX menu bar, click Save

These modifications are not saved in the repository. To save your modifications in the repository, you must dispatch these modifications, see Dispatching Your Work.

Saving Your Data

Your data is preserved in the repositories.

You should regularly perform backups of your repository to avoid loss of your data due to unforeseen circumstances such as hard disk failure.

You should keep these backups in a safe location, on a different site from that containing the data.

Backup frequency will vary depending on how quickly the data changes. Weekly backups are generally sufficient when one user is involved. Backups should be more frequent when multiple users are working every day. You should back up your repository before and after important modifications are made to it.

For more details on repository backup, see Managing Repositories.

You can also export the log of your private workspace if required, see Exporting Your Private Workspace Log.

Remember to regularly back up your data and to keep several backups.
