How can I backup my banks & presets?
Problem:
I want to make a backup copy of my show (the banks & presets) for safety. How do I do this?
Solution:
Making a backup of your banks & presets is a VERY sensible idea, and we recommend you do this regularly!
All DMXIS show, bank & preset files are stored here:
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\ENTTEC\DMXIS
- Vista & Windows 7: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\ENTTEC\DMXIS
- OS X: \Library\Application Support\ENTTEC\DMXIS
(From there, the "Default" subfolder is the default show, and the "Shows" subfolder contains any custom shows you have created)
Simply copy the entire "DMXIS" folder using the backup tool of your choice. To restore a lost or damaged show, simply copy the appropriate files back to their original location and restart DMXIS.
Note: you can use the "Duplicate..." button in the "Manage Shows" window to create quick backup copies of your shows as you work. However, we highly recommend that you also follow the above procedure to store a separate backup copy of your show data in a safe place.
