The Backup-a-Nator by Team Spockholm

Share:

If you spend any amount of time getting your Spockholm Toolbar, Checklist, Assassin-a-Nator of Property Manager set up to tailor your needs, it really sucks when you need to clear out all your cookies and the settings are lost. There is now a Spocklet called the Backup-a-Nator which will help you easily get everything just the way it was. Follow the steps below and you will never have to worry about getting your settings the way you want them again.

1. Go to the Spockholm Mafia Tools Beta Page and locate the Backup-a-Nator.
2.  Click, drag and drop the Backup-a-Nator into your bookmarklet toolbar.
3. If you use the Spockholm Toolbar, you can import this Spocklet by pasting the code below into the import box.

4.  From an unframed Mafia Wars game (or framed if you use the Spockholm Toolbar), click on the Backup-a-Nator. Now click on the "Backup your settings" button.
5.  Select the items you wish to backup by placing a check in the box. The option are the Assassin-a-Nator, the Toolbar, the Checklist and the Property Manager. You can choose any combination you want. Click on the "Backup now" button when you are finished with your selections.
6. You will get a box full of code. Copy the code by right clicking and highlighting it or use Control +A.
7.  Copy the code in a location you can come back to if you ever lose your data. I just inbox my energy account. Paste the code and save it for when it will be needed.
8.  If your data is lost due to cookie cleaning or other reasons, repeat steps 1-4 but select the "Restore your settings" buttons in step 4. Copy the code you were saving and paste it into the box. Click the "Restore Now" button.
9. You will get a warning message alerting you to the fact that you need to close any scripts that are running. If you are restoring your toolbar data, you need to close all open windows.
10.  Click on the "Restore these settings" button and all your settings will be restored to the state they were in when you saved the data.
