EZdrummer 2 Backup Help

[rkatz0]

Hi,

I am going to use EZdrummer 2 with Reaper. Please advise which files need to backed up in order to do a restore when my hard drive breaks. I know this seems like an unusual post but eventually everyone’s hard drive is going to break, so I like to get my backup procedures in order BEFORE that happens!

Hi,

you will always have access to installers and updates of your products in your Toontrack account, so unless you really have a problem with downloading them again there’s no need.
Should downloading be an issue for you, you can of course make a backup of the ‘EZDrummer’ folder. The Default location is:
(MAC) MacHD/Library/Application Support/EZDrummer
(PC 32 and 64bit) C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/CommonFilesToontrack/EZDrummer
If you have upgraded from EZdurmmer 1 they will be in: C:/ProgramFiles/Toontrack/EZDrummer

Nice reply, however, what about the data?

[John]

You have to elaborate on that one; what data besides the sounds and MIDI in the ‘EZDrummer’ folder?
Your own custom made presets? Songs?

um, yes, does that seem hard to imagine that one would want to backup their data?

ps nevermind, I’ll figure it out myself. Obviously no one here has any data they consider valuable enough to have given this any thought so they don’t need to be giving me advice, thanks.

Ah, I see, you mean in general? I thought you were asking with EZdrummer specifically in mind.
It depends a bit on your system config and OS; personally I get a long way with Time Machine and Chronosync but I’m using Mac’s so that wouldn’t work if you’re a Windows man.
I’ll let someone else chime in.
