Depending on the date of your backup, they’ll look like this – QuiteRss.ini_07-57-56.bak and feeds.db_07-57-56.bak. When you make a backup, the program creates two files. Offering a way to create the backup from within the program’s menu but not to provide a way to restore the backup from inside the program menu seems odd.īut it didn’t take long for me to find a solution to restoring the backup. Unfortunately, there’s no option to recover from a backup from inside the QuiteRSS program. I first copied the backup from my Linux Mint 17.2 to an USB drive and then copied the files to the desktop of my CentOS system. Recently I wanted a copy of my carefully picked QuiteRSS feeds on a CentOS 7 system. Like any good IT user, every month or so I make a backup of QuiteRSS (Via File –> Create Backup on the menu bar) from inside the program just in case I need it later. The free reader works on Windows and Mac OS X too but I have yet to try them on those platforms. The reader works fine on Linux and I can’t recollect it ever crashing on me. I’ve installed it on Linux Mint and CentOS.

QuiteRSS is an excellent open source cross-platform RSS news feed reader that I have been using for about a year now with mucho satisfaction.
