Restore FS on another computer

[docMario]

Hi,
how can I restore all my FS data (settings, fixtures, scenes, cues etc.) on another computer?

I made a backup on USB stick at home, but I could not restore the settings because an "Error occured while restoring backup".

I used the same FS version on both computers.
what can I do?

best regards, Mario

uhmm thats not good.

But a Backup saves all the Settings, fixture files, Sequences, cue's.

First try to make a New backup file maby there whent something wrong when FS created the backup.

otherwise you need to do it the Hard way.
If you go to Default
C:\Freestyler, you find the directory Cue and Sequences there you can find all your Sequences and Cues.

you can copy that to the other Pc.
only you still need to Add the Fixtures manual on the same patch as the other pc.
and you need to add all the Cues and sequences on the corect place. (override button, Cuelistbuttons or submasters)

Thanks,
after updating to the newest FS version and renewing my backup files it works like charm.
The second strategy, copying the sequence and que files, works too.

forget what I just said: backup/restore will only work 1 out of 5 times
I think this function is not very robust
