Collaber

Taking backup of Collaber files is required in situations like

1. You are going to install new OS
2. Formatting hard disk
3. You want to change your system etc.

Collaber have two parts of data

1. The Collaber program along with its plugins and configuration
2. The User Accounts, their workspace data , encrypted file

Taking backup of Collaber program is needed if you don't have a installer of that version of Collaber. If you have the installer then taking backup of Collaber Program and configuration is not needed.

Anyway if you want to take a backup of Collaber program they are located at ....
IN Windows: {Your  Program Files Directory}\Collaber Beta
Ex: C:\Program Files\Collaber Beta\
In Linux & Mac: {Where ever you installed Collaber}\
Ex: /home/{user} /Collaber Beta

Next step is to backup Collaber Accounts and the workspace data.
They are located at....
In Windows: {Your home directory}/.collaber
Ex: C:\Document And Settings\{Your name}\.collaber
In Linux & Mac: /home/{user}/.collaber

Backup operation comprises of the following steps

1. Copying of entire folder to another location
   [OR] Making an Archive of those folders(zip,tar,tar.gz, etc)
2. copying them back in same location (remember if username changes, then they must be copied/restored back to the new users home folder).
3. installing Collaber again(of same version)
4. And verifying that everything works before you delete the backup data.

Yes. You just have to import your account again in that system.

Workspace is a virtual group which will contain team members. You can add new members to the group and you can delete members. Each member in your Workspace will have a security level (Manager, Participant, Guest). By default the person who created the group will be Manager. He can invite other members into one of the 3 roles.

A workspace will be useful only when it contains one or more Tools. Tools can be created both by Manager and Participant. But only Manager can delete tools.
