Hi,
\nI;m a fairly recent user of TEC(Pro) and have a client who is using Sharepoint & Outlook for their internal calendar. We’ve worked out how to export the data as a csv, how to change the format of the date to work with this plugin and all seems pretty straight forward when uploading… however I noticed an error in one of the csv file’s fields that meant the import skipped a tab and ended up really screwing with the data following that cell – so all following events imported were really skew-iff.
\nSo… my question is what is the best method to backup the data PRIOR to importing a csv that may update the current data, and if there was an issue (down the road) how is it best re-imported?
\nIn advance, thanks for your help.
