Making a Backup of PowerGrade To The Local Machine
I apologize that I have not been keeping up on this in the past couple of weeks! The ND PowerSchool Users Group is tomorrow and I am so excited to share some trouble shooting tips and tricks and how to do’s with you. Today I would like to share one of them with you that I will be sharing at the conference as well. All of the other ideas I discuss at the users group will be blogged sometime next week! At this time of the year teachers may tend to become a little bit nervous about their gradebooks and they want to be sure things are backed up. PowerGrade does send a backup to the server every time you close the application, however a teacher can make their own backup to their local machine. To do this, on a PC open the C drive, program files, and PowerGrade. On the Mac navigate to the applications folder. Copy both the data file and the data resource file. Make a folder on your machine called backup or whatever you would like to name it. Place the data file and data resource file in that folder. Now when you make changes to the original data file it will not affect the copied one. If you lose data at some point you can always go back to the backup that you made and retrieve that data. I would backup once a week if possible.
