Upgrade StorageZotero.sqlite file query
Hi,
I am very new to Zotero and still understanding how it works. I have a query about the file that stores all the library references.
If I create a reference, the data will be held in the 'zotero.sqlite' file - is that correct?
If this is correct, then can I simply copy the 'zotero.sqlite' file into another location and use this as a backup?
Reason for this is let's say my PC dies and I lose all my references. I would like to simply copy the 'zotero.sqlite' backup I created and paste it into 'C:\Users\\Zotero'.
Can you let me know if this would work?
Thanks

bwiernikYou will want to back up the whole Zotero folder, not just the SQLite database. See https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#backing_up_your_zotero_library
