Part 2: Using Recovery-Files to share packages

with this way, you will create a file that you can upload to the web or send through emails to share your packages.

On the RDX-Main-Panel, click on the "Repository" button and select "Backup Packages" from the dropdown menu:


a new window will open with a list of your packages:

select the packages you want to share and click OK.
your ui will reload now.

next, browse your wow-folder:
<path-to-wow>\WTF\Account\<youraccountname>\SavedVariables\
in this folder you should now find a file called RDX_Recovery.lua
now, upload that file to a webserver/filehoster/send it by mail
on the target system, place the file in the same folder, just replace your account name with the account name of the user that wants to load your files.
on the targets client, open the "Repository" dropdown again and select "Restore Packages". a new window will open:

this window lists all packages that are saved in the RDX_Recovery.lua file.
select the ones you want to load and click OK. As you can see in the red text, EXISTING OBJECTS WILL BE OVERWRITEN.
