Hello,

could someone please tell me, where the libraries (instruments, effects, etc.) are stored? Is there any possibility, to make a backup of them?

Thanks in advance,
F.

Hello Hans,

Everything is in the .blue folder in your home directory.  On Linux it
would be /home/username/.blue, on OSX I think it is
/Users/username/.blue, and on Windows it would be c:\Documents and
Settings\username\.blue.  In that directory you will find a number of
.xml files for the different libraries.  I myself use mercurial
(http://selenic.com/mercurial) to do version control of my .blue home
folder so as to take snapshots in case of any issues (happens more
while doing development than when as a user).  Also, it gives me a way
to push my changes to a server and then share amongst different
computers.  I do this with both my projects and my .blue folder, so if
I move to another computer or if my harddrive fails (which has
happened in the past), it takes me minutes to restore my .blue setup
and projects by cloning from the server.  Otherwise, I would recommend
making backups of the .blue folder regularly for all users.  I had
meant to make a backup function that would zip the .blue folder, but
never seem to remember to do this.  (Maybe I'll try to implement that
now... :) ).

Let me know if you have any problems finding the .blue folder or have
any further questions!

Thanks for the help, I found it. I'll just make a copy of this folder now and then, that should do it.  ;-)
