Beta test of the Prefix Backup plugin

Tuesday 10 February 2009 at 15:38

Here comes a plugin that some of you have been awaiting for a while!

It's a plugin which allows you to backup the whole prefix of an application installed in PlayOnLinux, the version of Wine used with it (it's defined in "PlayOnLinux -> Tools -> Manage Wine versions"), and the launcher of that application.
It creates a .pol archive that you can reinstall when and where you want via "Install -> Install a .pol package or an unsupported application" in PlayOnLinux.


This plugin should work fine but I will need some feedback. Although it is a beta version it shouldn't cause PlayOnLinux to crash, the worst case scenario being a shortage of hard drive space.

Please go to this post to download Prefix Backup and to report the results of your tests.

Have a good test and a good backup.
