Saving/transferring current state of custom column date

Morning all - I've had a couple of routines running in multiple instances for over a week and in Guardian have custom columns displaying running P/L, P/L per event, highest winner trigger values (ie how close I came to laying the winner), split of P/L grouped by ranges of SPs, and much more.
Is there a way to preserve all this column data, as a snapshot to be able to reboot my machine and pick up where I left off?
I see the temporary folder, which presumably is converted to logfiles when closing BA - is there a way to utilise these *.dat files?
Thanks in advance for any advice/thoughts.

Rather manual, but you could make a note of the values before closing down, then adjust your rulesfile so rather than starting at zero they start at the previous values.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, but I'd like to retain the historical column data. It's invaluable being able to re-sort the columns with a click.

What happens if you hit "save markets" in the "markets" tab before you shut down? It will save the markets - not sure if it might also save the data in Guardian?

Hi James - no, that just saves the need to reload the markets from the sidebar

You can export the contents of Guardian page to excel (right click on any market and click 'export'). Not as convenient, but you could do this before every shutdown and build a bank of data in excel this way?

I currently have over 700 markets in the history :shock: - that's after deleting those with no bets attempted, so it's unlikely that any manual intervention method - per market - will be usable. In any event, I often watch the action from Guardian and learn from the way the data I'm capturing changes in real time. I think that I shall just have to wait until I'm happy that everything is behaving as I want it to do (maybe another week or so) and then I won't need the data to be available in this way. At that point, I'll be happy to use Excel.

It's not per market. It downloads all the data in the main Guardian screen with one click.

Ok + maybe I'll take another look. My gut feeling is that what I want isn't possible.
