Backup and Restore
PlayIt Live can back up and restore your database and settings on demand or on a regular schedule.
Backups contain your database and settings only - they do not include your audio files. Tracks and voice track recordings are referenced by their file path, so the audio itself is not copied into the backup. Back up your audio files separately, and make sure they are present at the same paths when you restore, otherwise the restored library will point to missing files.
To open Backup and Restore, go to Tools > Backup and Restore.
