Backup Everything index database to certain location

[jhon65]

Hi All

Please how to backup Everything index database to a certain location, in order to restore it after formatting of WIndows, because each time, the Everything takes a time to index all my partitions, so restoring database file will keep my time and the database file will be already available.

Thanks

Everything.db is stored in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything folder.
(you can paste it in File Explorer's address bar to go to that folder directly)


As Everything keeps it's database in RAM until you exit Everything, make sure Everything is no longer running to get the most up-to-date database:
- right-click the Everything icon in the system tray and choose Exit


You can save Everything.db to an SUB sick, your cloud provider or anything similar.

Thanks so much my bro,
please just another question, I exit from Everything, but after run it again, it hang and crash and this message appear



so, which is the best choice to use?
Also, after that every time I want to search, message appears at bottom, "Updating database...."



Is this creates new database or update existing database?
if update existing database, while takes time because the database already found and I have no such huge changes to take a time to update database.

Thanks again
Best Regards
