It is important to understand that '''you can back up MultiCharts files to restore them successfully later only if the backup and restore procedures were completed for exactly the same version''' (the build numbers in brackets that can be found in ''Help -> About MultiCharts'' should match) the software.
Since '''MultiCharts 11''' it is possible to do a backup of user data and application settings in a few clicks using '''Backup Application'''. See [[Backup Application | Backup Application]] for additional information.
Since '''MultiCharts 11''' it is possible to restore MultiCharts settings and user data from a backup file using '''Restore Application'''. See [[Restore Application | Restore Application]] for additional information.
