@ -437,6 +437,15 @@ My antivirus program claims |app| is a virus/trojan?
Your antivirus program is wrong. |app| is a completely open source product. You can actually browse the source code yourself (or hire someone to do it for you) to verify that it is not a virus. Please report the false identification to whatever company you buy your antivirus software from. If the antivirus program is preventing you from downloading/installing |app|, disable it temporarily, install |app| and then re-enable it.

How do I backup |app|?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The most important thing to backup is the |app| library folder, that contains all your books and metadata. This is the folder you chose for your |app| library when you ran |app| for the first time. You can get the path to the library folder by clicking the |app| icon on the main toolbar. You must backup this complete folder with all its files and sub-folders.
You can switch |app| to using a backed up library folder by simply clicking the |app| icon on the toolbar and choosing your backup library folder.
If you want to backup the |app| configuration/plugins, you have to backup the config directory. You can find this config directory via :guilabel:`Preferences->Miscellaneous`. Note that restoring configuration directories is not officially supported, but should work in most cases. Just copy the contents of the backup directory into the current configuration directory to restore.

Most purchased EPUB books have `DRM <http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/DRM>`_. This prevents |app| from opening them. You can still use |app| to store and transfer them to your e-book reader. First, you must authorize your reader on a windows machine with Adobe Digital Editions. Once this is done, EPUB books transferred with |app| will work fine on your reader. When you purchase an epub book from a website, you will get an ".acsm" file. This file should be opened with Adobe Digital Editions, which will then download the actual ".epub" e-book. The e-book file will be stored in the folder "My Digital Editions", from where you can add it to |app|. Most purchased EPUB books have `DRM <http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/DRM>`_.
