Multiterm disappeared after recent update

Hi

I ran the latest Multiterm update yesterday but when my machine restarted Multiterm had disappeared; there is no longer an icon on the home screen.  I can still access my term base for my current translation in Trados Studio (2019) but am worried about losing it (I'm not very "techie" and am Trados self-taught). If I reinstall Multiterm on my machine, will I lose my current term base? Any simple (!) advice would be much appreciated.

  • Hello

    The app is designed to back up your Termbase/Translation Memories.

    These resources are never stored in MultiTerm (or Studio) but in your projects folder (folder A*)

    something like-

    Screenshot of a Windows file explorer showing Trados Studio's 'Projects' folder with arrows indicating the backup process from 'folder A' to 'folder B'.

     

    When you back up your resources, the app does not remove them from the original folder- but backs them up to a second designated folder of your choice.

    This simply means that should the TM/TB become corrupted in 'folder A' (your default folder) you have another 'copy' in 'folder B' that you can fall back on.
