Do I need to backup any databases when I install an upgrade?
I don't want to lose any music or setting for looping on hoedowns.
If you "re-install" (a.k.a., "upgrade"), you do NOT lose any database
that YOU have entered. All of your sequences, music information,
getouts, lists, snapshots, etc. are not touched. What is upgraded are: the program executable, help files, and MY database entries to the list, parse, getin, getout, and snapshot databases.
If you're paranoid, you can backup everything in the following folders,
but there is no need just to do an upgrade:
- C:\SQDATA\MUSIC [the music database];
- C:\SQDATA\SEQ [the sequence databases];
- C:\SQDATA\SQUSED [the dates database].
Occasionally you should back up these folders in case something catastrophic and unforeseen happens to your computer.
