Select Export tab

Copy to wherever you are saving.

It'll save a hitdb_{today's date}.bak file in your default downloads folder.

Click on the Block List/Include List button and then Export.

Hit Monitor:

Click Export. That will save the txt to your clipboard.
Paste it to text editor of choice and save it with a name you'll remember.
(Soon to be obsolete but including it for now)
TurkMaster:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/4771-turkmaster-mturk
Click the gear and then the three vertical dots next to Export.
Copy the entire text that is shown there and save it as a .txt file.
Finally, your best practices after backing up? Don't keep all backup locally saved! Sync it to cloud storage, or use a web browser based E-mail (like Gmail) and mail a copy to yourself. Or put it on a USB stick. Just make sure you keep the data available somewhere else in case your computer stops working.

Clearing all browser cookies wipes out many of the mentioned script's databases. Switching to a different browser and transferring scripts. Catastrophic failure like a PC dying will make rebuilding the Turking setup much easier on a new PC if backups are accessible. -

To name a few reasons: Lightning surges, floods, HDD bites the dust, you buy a new computer.

Thank you Cosmo! I was fortunate to find that very information. Is it best to get all of them to achieve success earning or just some of them?
