Export to local file, import from local file, would be nice to have. I continue to see my custom searches randomly lose parameters.
I updated VV7 to build 1.3.0.7, one day ago. I converted some searched in from VV6 online, successfully. One day later, and two have lost several parameters.
This problem is not unique to searches from the online conversion tool. It happens frequently for me. I routinely have to save the search paramters to a document. I have to verify the search has not been corrupted when I want to use it, and manually re-create it from the document.
There seems to be some data integrity issues at work here. if I add a parameter using "filter by portfolio," I can see a set of about 15 back-test names of mine, and these I had deleted long ago.

Two Use Cases that I can think of:
1) I have seen my search parameters mysteriously disappear. I copy/paste to a document, so that I can manually recover. Export/Import would be a better recovery method.
2) If I am not saving progress to a document, or making copy after copy, an export/import would allow a restore point if I find that I've made several destrimental changes to a proven search.
I didn't make the original post, but these are my thoughts in the matter.

What kind of backup do you want, Peter?
Are you looking for the ability to bring back Searches that you deleted?
Thanks.
