about the backup in zotero

Hi,

I want to be sure about the backup procedure with Zotero
using backup files not the syncing option.
In the Zotero manual I read that one only needs the files
zotero.sqlite and a 'storage' subdirectory. What about the
other folders?

regards.
  • Zotero creates the other folders automatically when it's installed.
    That said, it's foolish to skimp on back-up. You should back-up your entire harddisk periodically and automatically, you can get a 1TB external harddisk for $60.
    Harddisks do fail (mine - a SSD in an expensive, new laptop - just did a month ago) and you should not be in a situation where that costs you more than an hour of work and a couple of hours restoring from the back-up.
