The Memento Ring Buffer data can be dumped to disk files using the Memento Dump function of the Memento Application.

The Memento Viewer function is available in the following two modes of Memento Application:

●

Dump Files Management

Dump File Name & Location

The Memento Dump function stores the Memento data into a disk file.

The default file name is dump.memento and the default file location is the Memento Application directory. %USERPROFILE%\memento\.

The file name and the file location are user configurable using the File option.

Euresys recommends to keep the suffix .memento.

Dump File Name Rotation

Memento Dump keeps previous dump files in the same directory by assigning a numerical suffix to their name. For instance, assuming the file name is set to dump.memento, older files are named dump.1.memento, dump.2.memento, dump.3.memento...

Every time a new dump file is created, the Memento Dump function

Increments the numerical suffix of all existing dump files (file name rotation)
