Backup on a second pc

Post by hdradio »

For the moment I have all my scripts under "Script library path".
The reason I do this is that my backup application, copies that folder's files to the same folder on a backup pc. That way the scripts are automatically available on backup pc, so when pf starts on this pc the scripts are available.

How can I have the same scripts on my backup pc if use Additional script libraries ?
Or on every change on main pc I have to go to backup pc and add my (copied) scripts manually ?

The 'Additional Script Libraries' are also related (linked to) physical script files.
I.e. you might also place all of them to a single folder (just like the Auto Path folder) and also copy them over in the same way.
The additional script libs are maintained inside the file "ProppFrexx ONAIR.scriptlibs" contained in your ProppFrexx config folder.
As such you also need to copy that file over as well. When you take a look inside the file "ProppFrexx ONAIR.scriptlibs" you'll notice, that the script locations are saved relative.
So you only need to make sure, that the relative paths are equal on both systems...

So you have 3 alternatives:
a) Use the 'Auto Lib Path' as today
b) Use additional libs like described above
c) Use the Backup and Restore option of PF manually

So if the paths are the same to the backup pc, what config files (except audio cards and screen layout) do I need to copy to the second pc to have the same setup as the main one ?
