Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Log4OM?
Copy the Log4OM folder in Documents with Log4OM quit, especially the database and config files. Logbooks, settings and awards travel together. Reconnect cluster and rig control after the move, since hardware ports differ per machine.
Where are my QSOs?
In the SQLite database inside the Log4OM folder, not as loose ADIF by default. The program reads that database at launch. Export ADIF regularly from inside Log4OM for portable copies outside the program.
