Urgent question about rig clean-up

    I'm just going to clean up the memory contents of my KPAs and have a large amount of rigs deleted. This is me in kpa too laborious, yet I am so doing this on the PC
    as described in wikpa: "Make a backup on the USB stick; open it on the PC with 7Zip; erase the not needed content of the Rig folder; save it and pack it again with 7Zip and and rename it back to the original name (in my case: 2013-11-26 19-42-01.kpabackup); then restore the backup".
    All no problem and works flawlessly but I have a question: can I name this file differently (eg with another new date "2014-01-08 19-42-01.kpabackup" ) or causes this the profiler then problems when it reads the backup?
    Thanx

    Play it like you mean it.

    Thank you Stevoe - I tried it and unfortunately it does not work. The Kemper does not import this file. Therefore I manually deleted about 600 rigs (because there is no editor for this purpose :cursing: ), which has cost me a few hours of my time.
    A positive side effect: the KPA now boots much faster than before...

    Play it like you mean it.

    e.g. I use the following archive names:


    TAF-1.kpabackup
    TAF-2.kpabackup
    Factory.kpabackup
    soundside.kpabackup
    diverse.kpabackup
    rigex-1.kpabackup
    rigex-2.kpabackup


    favorites.kpabackup


    livesetup-1.kpabackup
    livesetup-2.kpabackup
    and so on .....


    once in a while i go to rigex, factory, soundside or The Amp Factory Backups to "investigate and discover" a new amp set.


    then i tweak it possible and put it to "favorites" or put it back for "resubmission" - then you never know - a new guitar and
    rigs that you did'nt loved at all in the past became gems


    I figured out to have not more than 1000 rigs per backup


    in favorites.kpabackup at the moment aprox 400


    and in the livesetups aprox 10 to 20
