8.2 System Backup and Restore

As XStudio is running, a significant number of database tables, preference and settings files are being

created, updated and maintained. These files contain the key elements of your system setup and

operating information. As such, a total loss of some or all of the files - as might occur if the host PC

fails - can leave you with the formidable task of rebuilding your system configuration manually.

To help prevent having to rebuild the system from scratch, XStudio has a task (System Backup) that

can be executed on a manual or scheduled basis (just like any other XStudio task). The backup

operation occurs in the background and does not affect XStudio operations.

When executed, the XStudio system database tables are backed up to a target location defined in the

task. Optionally, XStudio preference and settings files, including hot button configuration files, can be

backed up. The task also has a option to zip the backed-up files to save disk storage space.

Setting Up a System Backup

Setting up a system backup is fairly simple. There are just a few basic steps:

1. Create a System Backup task. A key property of the task is the Backup Target Folder - the

location where backed-up files will be placed. The files could be located on the XStudio PC,

but a better choice might be a server on your local area network (LAN). That way, if the

XStudio PC fails, you will still have access to the backup files.

2. Create an XStudio Action that contains the System Backup task.

3. Determine when and how you want the backup Action to execute. To have the backup

execute on a regularly-scheduled basis, you could create a Scheduled Event and decide

what day(s) of the week and time to perform the backup. Typically, a good time to do a

backup is sometime overnight like 3:20 AM. If you are located in a time zone that uses

Daylight Savings Time, avoid the 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM time period to prevent either doubling

up or skipping of a scheduled backup.

You can perform a backup on-demand by assigning the backup Action to a hot button.

What is Backed Up?

When a system backup is performed, XStudio system database files are always backed up. For

additional information on the database tables that are backed up, see the Database Reference topic.

Audio inventory database files are not backed up when doing a system backup.

The audio inventory database is automatically maintained by XStudio and will

be rebuilt automatically if needed.

If the "backup non-database system files option" is enabled, the following file types are backed up from

the XStudio application folder only:

1. Preference files. These files have a file extension of ".ini" and include the main XStudio

preferences file (XStudio.ini), which contains your registration information, and the audio

engine preferences file. For details on information contained in the XStudio.ini file, see the

topic Preferences File Documentation.

2. Settings files. These files have a file extension of ".dat" and include music dialog settings

and Cart Wall settings.

3. Log display and cart mask configuration files you may have saved. These files have a file

extension of ".?cf".
