Backing Up Shows

Through my ENTTEC Account, on EMU software is there anyway to backup all my shows?


For example, if one day I lost my Macbook or it wasn't turning on, how would I access my shows, banks, and programs that I've created? Is there any way to backup through my account or what's the best way to backup onto a hard drive? Is there a way to do this?


Thanks!


The only way I know is to export your shows from the shows tab and keep those exported .emu extension files in a safe place. I use cloud service for that. So whenever I need my shows on any machine - I download the shows and import them to EMU. Just keep the shows files up to date from time to time.

Okay, so on the programs tab I’ve got banks and programs and then shows on the left side. How do I save a show as at the moment it’s saying default and I can’t change it or save anything? Presumably I would somehow save all my banks and programs into one show that I could store on a Hard drive or something?

You should do it from the “SHOWS” tab using button “Export” which will give you then .EMU extension file.

Perfect so I’ve done that now, so if I were to transfer it over to another computer for example how would “.emu” be opened to have all my banks and programs? Thanks!

Just open EMU, open the "SHOWS" tab and click "import" button. Then find your .emu file and pick it. So that you'll get your show with all it's banks, programs, patches on the new machine. Try once just for curiosity and you'll see it, pretty straightforward process.

Hello! I moved to a different computer and moved all the files onto a external harddrive, but when I open the show file, it is void of previous work to a point. I see a recently updated .db file with an appropriate 'last modified' date - did I do something wrong by not exporting the show specifically with a different file name before transferring the files/folders? Or can / should I move the .db file somewhere for it to be recognized? I have temporarily moved from a mac back to a windows for what it's worth, and using the same version of EMU. I'd really like to not have to replicate almost 2 months of work :) but if i screwed up by not exporting from the shows folder and assuming file/folder transfer would work then shame on me

Matthew try raise a ticket, maybe the support can help you with it. As for me I always thought if we copy-paste all the folder to a new machine that will move all your settings and shows at the place. Seems it is not, good to know.
