Hello Tim,
This is the relevant excerpt from the user guide ('
Backing up and restoring your settings and data' section -- page 25 in the current v4.2.1 version):
File | Backup your Hauptwerk settings and personal data always makes a backup copy of all of your Hauptwerk settings and other personal data (organ combinations, voicing, Custom Organ Design Module organs and logs)
In answer to your questions:
TimM wrote:1) I am using two configurations (default for stereo and Alt-1 for surround) and I have three organs installed. When I do the backup, does a single backup operation cover both configurations and all three organs?
Yes -- all settings from all configurations are included.
TimM wrote:2) Does a backup also save stop and piston console-to-screen assignments? I have a huge stop array, a separate lighted stop for each rank of the Rotterdam organ. It takes forever to use auto-detect, one at a time, to do all those stop assignments, not to mention assignments of master couplers to console pistons, master combinations to console pistons, and the like. This is the information I'm most interested in having backed up.
Yes -- they're user settings, so they're included.
TimM wrote:) Does the backup include output assignment (I have three stereo channels) of each rank for each organ? Setting the output channels, resolutions, and so forth is very tedious on a large organ and hence important to back up.
Yes -- likewise, they're settings, so they're included too.
Best regards, Martin.
