How to back up SiteTagger’s database

SiteTagger offers a backup feature in the Preferences window that lets you synchronize your bookmarks database with a file held on a remote server. This system can send files to .Mac, FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV servers. Setup requires basic information provided by your server provider.

Necessary information

The following information is only necessary if you are not syncing to a .Mac account. .Mac information is handled in System Preferences.

• Username - This is the username that is used to connect to your server. This is required.
• Password - This is the password that is associated with your username for establishing a connection to your server. This is also required. The password is stored in your user’s keychain.
• Host - The host is the root address to your remote server. For FTP servers, this is usually something along the lines of “ftp.servername.com”.
• Path - This is a path to a folder under your account on the server. If the path is blank, SiteTagger assumes your account folder.

When you sync to a server, SiteTagger will first attempt to download information from your server. If any data is received, SiteTagger will synchronize that information with its database. The database and preferences are then compressed and sent back to the server.
