<blockquote>
<p>DS9 now supports Backup and Restore. When a backup is invoked,
DS9 will save in a backup save set all files needed to restore
DS9 to that state, including geometry, data files, colormaps,
catalogs, contours, and regions.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Backup Save Set</b></p>
<p>A backup save set consists of a text file, called a backup
script, and an optional directory, which will contain auxiliary
data files needed to restore DS9 to a previous state. The backup
file and the auxiliary directory maybe moved across file
systems, or even platforms, but must remain together in the same
directory. <br>
</p>
<p><b>Image data files</b></p>
<p>By default, all data image files are save within the backup
save set. However, the user has the option, via the Preferences,
to only save only an absolute pathname to the data file, and not
the data file itself. This option will dramatically reduce the
size of a backup save set, but will restrict the usage to a
particular file system and platform.<br>
</p>
<p>Image files that have been loaded into DS9 via XPA, SAMP, or
from URL will always be saved into the save set.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Caveats</b></p>
<p>There are several caveats in the usage of Backup and Restore.
In particular:<br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p> <tt>Currently, there is no support for masks.<br>
External Analysis menus will not be saved.<br>
Plot Tool windows will not be saved.<br>
IIS frames (IRAF) will not be saved.<br>
SAMP and XPA sessions will not be saved.</tt></p>
</blockquote>
<p>And finally, if the image data had been loaded into DS9 via
XPA, SAMP, or from a URL, the following complex load operations
are not supported:</p>
<blockquote> <tt>Open Mosaic IRAF Image<br>
Open Mosaic IRAF Segment Open Mosaic WCS Image<br>
Open Mosaic WCS Segment Open Mosaic WFPC2 Open RGB Fits Image
Open RGB Fits Cube Open RGB Array Open Multi Ext Data Cube
Open Multi Ext Multiple Frames </tt></blockquote>
</blockquote>
