If you are going to reinstall everything on your computer and you want to backup all your board settings for Firebot?
- Start Firebot
- Go to Settings -> Open Root Folder (This will open an Explorer view showing overlay and user-settings)
- Right click the user-settings folder
- Select Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder
- Follow the guide for zipping the folder
- Save this zipped file on an USB drive or upload it to the Cloud for safe-keeping.
Format, reinstall Windows or setup the new computer.
- Access your zipped file and unpack it somewhere you easily can find it
- Download and run the latest Firebot installer from https://firebot.pro
Alternative 1:
- Select the Import option at the bottom of the Guide that shows up at the start
- Browse for the files you unpacked from the Zip-file and open the user-settings folder
- Push the Import 'user-settings' button and let Firebot finish
- Firebot should now be ready to use.
Alternative 2:
- Follow the instructions to log in and authenticate as Streamer and/or your bot account.
- Skip the next steps
- Settings -> Open Root Folder
- Leave the Explorer windows open
- Close Firebot
- Copy the user-settings folder from your unpacked Zip-file and paste it into the previously opened Firebot folder
- Overwrite current files ( You can skip the auth.json file if you already authenticated your accounts. )
- Close the Explorer windows
- Start Firebot and check that everything is in-place, might have to re-authenticate if you overwrite the auth.json file. ( This file can be skipped on the paste )
There will be implemented a backup feature which can be used for this down the road, but with the current verison (4.1.x) this is not in-place.
