Hi, How do you save the whole database so that if it breaks at sometime you don't have to analyse/inspect it all again?
Regards,

   Hi

   Here's where you should find the folder in Windows:
   \Users[username]\AppData\Local\tagtraum industries\beaTunes

   And here on Mac:
   ~/Library/Application Support/beaTunes

   In my case, I actually have the folder on an external SSD on my Mac and linked it with a symlink.

   I always back up the entire beaTunes folder, including the XML files.

   regards

   It's up to you where you want to save it. Back when I was using Windows (20 years ago), I tried not to save anything on the C: drive—I always saved it to a data drive instead.

   Cheers
