It will only backup what was in the pref before you start up ProTools.

ProTools always create a new preference file when quitting. It will not write your preferences change before quitting.

Ah, I see. Can't do what I hoped for. Thank you.

Newbie question....
Why do I need to do this?
I've been on HD for about 6 months.
Thanks

if/when you get an "Insertion Error.....line....." you'll want this
or if you want to play with different hardware setups

Delete ProTools Pref and Database

The next version will include an Archive and Restore of the preferences.

Hey, is there an .EXE (Windows 7) program for this? That would be a BIG help for us PC instead of Mac users. (Is there a "port" of the program?)

It doesn back up the protools HD Prefrences anymore.
in tha app open your " backup" folder.
No protools prefs in there.
After updating to PT 9 and now PT9.0.2 I had to redo all my prefs again including arranging the workspace window as I need it. what a pain!

Hi JC
I think under PT 9 the Protools HD prefrence file has moved or renamed
Because the app does back it up, I cant find it to back it up myself, please can you help us.
Thanks

I'm expecting a baby this week (my girl friend is), so I won't be able to look into it for a week or two. Next version will probably also include 2 bug fix: multiple pref files, trashing invisible Digidesign Database folders.

It does back it up on my system, maybe there is two ProTools preferences files in your preferences folder. The new name for the preferences file is :Pro Tools Prefs. As far as I know it's the same name for every versions (HD and non HD) of ProTools.
