Backing Up the Queue

• Export: Use the Export button to back up the queue and restore it later using the Import button. This only backs up the queue metadata, not the photo image files.
• Metadata: Exporting backs up metadata associated with each photo (telephone number, email address, etc.) and the location of the image file.
• Import: When importing the backup file, the image files need to be in the same location as in the file, or in the same location as the backup file when importing to move the queue to another computer.
• Re-upload Option: You can also import the sparkbooth-uploads.txt file in the Documents folder as an option to re-send or re-upload photos.
