The zipfile is made in a data/zip directory. This zipfile is always made from the actual opened tournament. Each zipfile is marked with a date/time indication, so that you can check which back-up can be used for restoring.
You must give a description with each zipfile from the tournament, this makes the restore of the tournament more easily recognizable.
If you want to place the zipfile on another disc or, for example a floppy disc, choose then the zip file location and then select the desired directory.
Select a zipfile from the list of available back-ups. These are always back-up from the current, ongoing tournament. If you don't select a zipfile, you then receive a message.
