Backup with Rig Manager

Yep, already requested, and very practical.
I hope RM will become the operational centre for Global Profiler Management

Quick question Guys,

Is there a file that I can copy from my pc to a NEW pc and have all my accumulated and organized profiles, WITHOUT having to re-import and organize everything again from scratch in the second machine? I suspect, the file I am looking for is ".RigExchange.db". Am I right?

Try it and report here

No, that is the cached Rig Exchange database only. You need to copy the whole folder structure C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Kemper Amps\RigManager

Although I've mentioned it a couple of times already:

When you do a backup, make sure you close (exit) Rig Manager and wait a couple of seconds!
The database files are only written to disk when you close the software.
Never do a backup of the *.db files while Rig Manager is still running.

Why not implement the possibility of processing backups directly via the Rig Manager?

While this might be a handy feature for some. Have you considered using the export feature from RM instead? I use the regular backup function (usb stick) as second backup, now. Though, the Kemper backup cover the whole unit including it's settings and OS, etc. rather than profiles only.

Hi Arne,

What's the path on Mac?

Thanks.

This has bitten a couple of time when I accidentally closed RM and then tried to opening it right away. RM didn't like that! Maybe when they have some time, Kemper can add as count down as we see when we shut the hardware down.

/Users/<usename>/Library/Application Support/Kemper Amps/RigManager

Unfortunately, Library is hidden by default, also filenames that start with a dot like .RigExchange.db
So you need to make Finder show all hidden directories or use the Terminal app to access the data.

ty!

To show the libraray: Go to finder, click on "Go" (I think it's called that in the English version?), and then hold down the Alt key. That will show you the libraray folder. Click that
